Requesting host agent updates
Prerequisites
Ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
• Ensure that the version of the host agent installed on the host matches with the version of P9000
Performance Advisor installed on the management station.
• Ensure that the command devices are already created on the XP and the P9000 disk arrays con-
nected to your host, and configured to communicate with the host. If not already created, the
corresponding RAID Manager Library version is not displayed when you request for a host update.
In such cases, do the following:
1. Create command devices on the XP and the P9000 disk arrays. For more information on
creating command devices, refer to the HP StorageWorks P9000 Performance Advisor Soft-
ware Installation Guide (see “
Related information ” on page 395).
2. Associate the command device with your host agents.
3. Request an update on your host agents.
To request an update on your host agent:
1. Click Monitoring > Array View in the left pane.
The Array View screen appears.
