3. Select Actions > View Properties. The Enabled Host Properties window opens. 4. Click the properties tabs. Enabled host concepts Enabled and standard hosts Enabled and standard hosts An enabled host is a computer in a SAN that is capable of performing I/O with connected storage arrays and that has been configured to interact with the replication manager server. Only enabled hosts are displayed in the replication manager interface. A standard host is a computer in a SAN that is capable of performing I/O with connected storage arrays, but has not been configured to interact with the replication manager server. Standard hosts are not displayed in the replication manager interface. Notes • In HP Replication Solutions Manager documentation, enabled host refers specifically to a host that has been configured with a HP Replication Solutions Manager host agent. • A host can also be enabled with an HP StorageWorks Business Copy EVA/MA/EMA V2.x host agent. Such host agents are part of Business Copy 2.x software and do not interact with or appear in the replication manager interface. A host that is enabled with both host agents appears in both interfaces. Enabled host capabilities When hosts are enabled, you can interact with them using the replication manager GUI, jobs, and CLUI. For example, you can instruct an enabled host to dynamically mount a storage volume, or suspend and resume application I/O when backing up virtual disks. In addition, the replication manager can discover and interact with host volumes, volume groups and logical volumes. Host names and ports HP recommends that you use the same host name in HP Command View EVA and the replication manager to identify each host. This provides consistency in both interfaces when presenting a virtual disk to a host. An enabled host's storage system communication ports that are shared HP Command View EVA are listed in the Enabled Hosts properties window, EVA Hosts tab. See viewing enabled host properties. Low-level refresh of enabled hosts Update replication manager database entries by manually performing a discovery and refresh of individual enabled hosts. The action does the following: • Performs a discovery refresh of the enabled hosts to gather the host's properties. • Updates the replication manager database with the new properties. Security credentials for enabled hosts To establish and manage replication manager host agent security credentials, administrators must use the OS on each enabled host. See security groups configuration and the HP StorageWorks Replication Solutions Manager installation guide and HP StorageWorks Replication Solutions Manager administrator guide.
