Verifying host requirements

This guide assumes that Storage Area Manager 3.1 is installed and that the hosts meet or exceed all of the minimum system and patch requirements.
Tabl e 3 identifies only the SAN host requirements that are new or have changed.
See the hp OpenView storage area manager installation guide for disk requirements and verification procedures for other SAN hosts.

In addition to the hardware system requirements, Storage Area Manager requires certain features to be enabled for each host platform, thus allowing installation of the Host Agent software.
Obtain the following information for each SAN host. You will need this information during installation in order to deploy the Host Agent software to each SAN host.
Hostname
User name (root, administrator, or superuser)
Password
Note: The user name must have administrator privileges on Windows hosts, and
superuser privileges on Unix hosts.
For Windows-based SAN hosts, the password may not include special characters such as ampersands (&), commas (,), semicolons (;), vertical bars (|); carets (^), or parentheses.
For HP-UX and Solaris hosts, the hostname may not exceed eight characters.
