This chapter describes how to install, verify, and remove the agent on the following platforms:

Microsoft Windows Server 2003, 2008 (32-bit and 64-bit), and 2012 (64-bit)

Linux systems running RHEL 4 update 6 or later; RHEL 5 and RHEL 6, SLES 10, and SLES 11

The guide also describes how to install, verify, and remove the HP 3PAR Host Explorer for VMware
on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (32-bit, and 64-bit), and 2012 (64-bit).

NOTE:

In order for the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system to dynamically discover host devices,

you must follow specific configuration instructions for the host operating system and HBA. See the
HP 3PAR Implementation Guides for recommended practices and detailed configuration information
about using your specific host devices with the storage system.

NOTE:

Each host connected to the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system must use a host persona

with the SCSI Enclosure Services LUN (SESLun) enabled, or the Host Explorer agent cannot
communicate with the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system. If you upgraded from a version of the
HP 3PAR OS released before 2.3.1, you must convert your legacy personas to new host personas.
For information about configuring host personas, see the HP 3PAR Command Line Interface
Administrator’s Manual or the HP 3PAR Management Console Online Help
.
