Discovering hosts and collecting configuration data
P9000 Application Performance Extender interacts with the XP or P9500 disk arrays through hosts
which have operating system specific communication agents installed. After the communication agents
are installed, the details of the corresponding hosts appear in the List Of Discovered Hosts table.
During host discovery, all the hosts registered with the management station are identified. After the
hosts are discovered, configuration data is collected.
For more information on collecting configuration data, see “ Collecting configuration data ” on page 54.
