Host agent software A replication manager host agent is OS-specific software that enables interactions between a host and the replication manager server. A host that has a replication manager host agent installed is called an enabled host. See enabled and standard hosts. A host agent allows you to: • Perform replication by specifying the host and host volume name. • Mount virtual disks on the host without rebooting the host (dynamic mount). • Dynamically extend or shrink a host volume. • Suspend and resume application I/O on the host. • Launch (run) applications on the host. • Interact with database, backup, and other applications. • View host properties, such as: operating systems, file systems, logical volume managers, cluster software, multipathing software and Fibre Channel HBAs. CLUI remote client Host agents also include a CLUI remote client that you can use to run replication manager CLUI commands from the host's command line. CLUI software The replication manager includes a CLUI server and client in the server software and a CLUI remote client in the host agent software. The CLUI software allows you to: • Issue CLUI commands and run scripts from CLUI clients • Run jobs and manage job instances from CLUI clients. • Use job return codes for conditional interactions between jobs and scripts. See also accessing the CLUI via GUI and CLUI documentation. Jobs, templates, and commands You can create, save, run, schedule, and manage jobs that automate replication tasks. Job editor Use the replication manager's specialized job editor to create and edit jobs. HP StorageWorks Replication Solutions Manager 4.0.1 27
