Installing Command Console Agent on
Your Host System
This chapter describes how to install a copy of the Command Console (CC) Agent on each of your host
systems connected to StorageWorks RAID Array 310 subsystems. You can install and configure the CC
Agent automatically, using a script, or manually by copying files from the CC Agent distribution CD-ROM
and editing Agent configuration and your host system ASCII files.
4.1 Introduction
Command Console (CC) Agent for HP-UX is a companion application to the Command
Console (CC) Client graphical user interface (GUI) program. CC Agent serves as Client’s
assistant in configuring, operating, and monitoring your host’s storage subsystems. CC
Agent runs on your host system as a server application. It connects to CC Client sessions
via the TCP/IP network protocol.
CC Agent can also be used as a standalone application without the CC Client. In this mode
of operation, referred to as Agent Only, the CC Agent monitors the status of the subsystem
and provides local and remote notification in the event of a failure. Local notification can
be made via E-mail and /or the syslog facility. Remote notification can be made via SNMP
messages to an SNMP Monitor. The CC Client is not required for these types of
notification. In order to configure the subsystem, use of the CC Client or the CLI would be
required.
CC Agent provides a network connection between a host storage subsystem and any
number of CC Client sessions running on remote systems. Agent provides access
protection on a network address-by-network address basis. You can configure Agent to
allow, for instance, one Client session complete configuration access to the storage
subsystem, and another Client session might only monitoring capability.
Agent also provides asynchronous fault notification. The program monitors your host’s
storage subsystems and sends notification messages to all Client sessions connected to it
the moment a fault occurs. You can configure Agent to use TCP notification to Client and
SNMP notification to an SNMP-compatible monitoring application.
4.2 Minimum System Requirements
Agent requires the minimum host system resources shown in Table 4–1. The program is
designed to operate with Command Console Client Version 1.0 for Windows NT

and
Windows 95
