This software provides two methods for managing the HP-UX server node. In one method, Agent is installed on the node, in the other, it isn't.
Installing Agent enables automatic loading of server node configuration data from the manager and displaying FC connections in the form of lines. It also enables system fault monitoring and status monitoring for PV-LINK (a function of LVM) from the manager. When Agent is not installed, nodes can still be registered manually, but status inquiry, setting access paths, and fault monitoring cannot be performed.
See
See "10.5 Server Node Middleware that can be Managed" for information on products that can be monitored by Agent.
To manage the HBA mounted on an HP-UX server node, the HBA API library must be installed. When in doubt, contact your HBA sales representative.
