Can the SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager
user interface running on Red Hat/SLES
Linux talk to a Windows host running the
agent?
The SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager user interface running
on any platform can talk to any other platform running the
agent. The SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager interface
allows connections to different platforms at the same time.
What does the blinking heart on the con-
nected host mean?
SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager actively pings the agent at
the specified broadcast interval. This allows SANsurfer
iSCSI HBA Manager to detect agent presence on all plat-
forms (even if agent shutdown notification is not sup-
ported). It also allows the detection of agent crashes as
soon as possible. During an agent crash, the notification
may not have been sent to all the connected user inter-
faces.
