EMC CLARiiON Server Support Products for Windows Installation Guide
Installing and Using the Navisphere Host Agent or Server Utility
17. If you installed a new version of the Host Agent and will be using
Event Monitor, refer to Using the Event Monitor configuration file on
page 3-11.
If you updated the Host Agent and were using Event Monitor,
restore the Event Monitor configuration from a previously copied
Navimon.cfg file:
a. Stop the Agent, as described on page 3-13, Stopping the Host
Agent service.
b. Move or copy the saved Navimon.cfg to the real Navimon.cfg
file, as described on page 3-12, Starting the Host Agent service.
c. Start the Agent, as described on page 3-12, Starting the Host
Agent service.
18. If you are managing pre-FC4700 storage systems, you must edit
the Host Agent configuration file to add device entries for each
storage system the server will communicate with. To edit the
Host Agent configuration file use one of the following:
• the Remote Agent Configuration feature of Manager as
described in the EMC Navisphere Manager Administrator’s
Guide.
•the CLI remoteconfig command as described in the Navisphere
Command Line Interface (CLI) Reference Manual.
When a pre-FC4700 storage system experiences heavy input/output
traffic (that is, applications are using the storage system), information
may not be reported to the Host Agent in a timely manner. In such a
situation, the Host Agent may take several minutes to execute a
storage-system management task. This behavior is most evident when
one Host Agent is managing multiple storage systems. Also, if the SP
event log is large and the Host Agent configuration file is set up to read
all the events, it may take a few minutes for the Host Agent to start.
19. If you have an iSCSI configuration with a multi-homed server
(multiple NIC cards installed on the server), and are running
Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000, do the following to
ensure that the Agent finds the correct NIC card:
a. Create a text file in the Host Agent directory and name it
agentid.txt.
b. Open the agentid.txt file and on the first line, type the fully
qualified domain name of the host that you want to display in
Navisphere.
