Introduction

HP 3PAR HE (Host Explorer) Deployment tool can remotely deploy, and execute the HP HE tool
on all the hosts connected to an array, which in turn transfers the host related configuration
information to the 3PAR array.

The HP 3PAR HE Deployment tool is installed, and deployed in a system that has the network
connectivity to all the hosts where the HE bits are deployed remotely.

The HP 3PAR HE Deployment tool enables the user to remotely transfer and install the HE utility for
the supported hosts except for the Host Explorer for VMWare. The user can optionally configure
HE to run as a service, or as a daemon process on the target host (and manually remove when
needed).

HP 3PAR HE Deployment tool enables you to:

Enter the IP addresses, hostnames, and user credentials for each host attached to the array.
The users shall discover all the hosts that are connected to the storage array manually.

remotely. After the remote execution is successful, based on the user preference, the tool
initiates to remove, and delete the HE utility remotely.
