[Clariion]How to Setup Host connectivity for Linux Host

To setup Linux host to connect to Clariion, following steps below:

1. Verify port 6389 is open.

2. Navisphere Host Agent uses the /etc/hostfile on a Linux host to create the HostIDFile.txt file. Navisphere uses the HostIDFile.txt file to register the host. In order for the host to register and show up as being managed the /etc/hostfile should contain the fully qualified host name and the IP address MUST be included in the hostfile.  If there are multiple entries, comment out all but the entries that you want the host to register to the CLARiiON with. (Once the host registers, the user can then uncomment the entries in the /etc/hostfile.)

3. Once the appropriate changes have been made, cd into the /var/log directory. Locate HostIDFile.txt and delete it.

4. Stop and start the Navisphere Host Agent. See solution. Once the host Agent starts, a new HostIDFile.txt will be created.

5. From Navisphere Manager, right-click the array and click Update Now.

6. Then under the hosts tab, right-click the host, select Properties, and verify that next to Operating System the Agent is reporting the correct operating system.
