Communicating with host agents
HP XP7 Performance Advisor displays the host agents in the Host Information table under the Host
Information tab. The current status of a host agent is displayed as Requested when you seek an
update from the host agent (for example, when it is reinstalled). The status changes to Received
after HP XP7 Performance Advisor retrieves the requested information from the host agent. When
the host agents are first installed on the hosts, their current status is displayed as Received.
NOTE:
To view updated RMLIB host agent versions and new array types, select the upgraded
host entry and request a host update.
