4-5-2-7 Notes on Changing the Software Configuration
For a host for which a host-setting operation has not finished (that is, for a host for which a suspended
operation exists in the operation log), do not change any of the software listed below by installing or uninstalling
them, or by changing the software version.
• OS
• File system
• Program prerequisite for Provisioning Manager
• Program related to Provisioning Manager
For specific software names, see system requirements, prerequisite programs and related programs described
in the manual HP StorageWorks XP Provisioning Manager Installation and Configuration Guide.
If you change any of the above software for a host for which a host-setting operation has not finished, that host-
setting operation cannot be guaranteed when it resumes from the operation log. Before you change any
software, see the operation log and make sure that all host-setting operations have finished.
4-5-2-8 Notes on Changing a Host Name
When you change the host name of a host machine, match the host name of the host machine with the host
management information of Device Manager, and then use Provisioning Manager.
If you update host information when the host name of the host machine and host management information of
Device Manager do not match, both the host name that existed from before the change and the one created
after the change are displayed in the host management window. In such a case, you might be unable to use
Provisioning Manager correctly.
4-5-3 Volume Configurations Displayed by Provisioning Manager
This subsection describes the volume configurations for which Provisioning Manager can correctly display
information about file systems and devices. If volumes are configured differently than described here, displayed
information about file systems and devices might be incomplete.
Provisioning Manager can display information about configuration components in the configuration patterns
shown in
Figure 4-1 .
Figure 4-1 Configurations Displayed by Provisioning Manager
Figure 4-1 shows examples of configuration components, such as physical and logical volumes, created in
one-to-one configuration. However, Provisioning Manager can also display information when these
configuration components are created, in the following one-to-many configurations:
• When multiple partitions exist in one physical volume.
