5.2 Collecting Host Information From Application Servers

This section describes collection of host information from application servers.
Host information can be automatically collected if the OS used on the application servers is only
Windows and servers used in the system are all new (servers that have not begun operating).
When there is any Linux (RHEL5 or later or SLES10 or later) application server and the servers used in
the system are all new (servers that have not begun operating), host information can be collected
through the disk array.
To collect host information when the disk array is installed in a system that has already begun
operating or there is any application server on a different operating system, see
"Collecting Host Information by Using File Output"
Host Information by Using File Output" on page 376
1. Configurations where host information can be collected automatically or through a disk
array
When the OS of new servers to be connected by SAS cables is Windows and a disk array is newly
installed, host information can be automatically collected by using the NEC Storage Manager Host
Agent Service function and SAS connection paths between the disk array and Windows servers.
When the OS of new servers to be connected by FC cables is Linux (RHEL5 or later or SLES10 or
later) and a disk array is newly installed, host information can be collected through the disk array.
For details about the setting, see
To collect host information without connecting FC cables in one of the configurations above, see
