Installing HRS
The Host Registration Service (HRS) presents host information that SNCs and MCBs use to manage host
access and data retrieval. The information that is presented includes host name, host type, host connection
and the online or offline status. This information is sent periodically over the host Fibre Channel connection.
The default HRS setting re-registers the host every 5 minutes. You can change the re-registration period to
any value between 1 and 255 minutes.
Once HRS is installed, you can get help by typing
hrs -h
on the command line, and then pressing Enter.
AMC uses HRS to facilitate use of SFM, eVPS, and VPM, which are LUN mapping schemes. For more
information about them, refer to U
sing Scalar Firewall Manager (SFM) on page 80, Using eVPS on page
84, and U
sing VPM on page 90.
Installing the Host Registration Service for Windows
Install this software on a host computer running the Windows operating system that is attached to an SNC,
MCB or network chassis.
1 Verify that the Windows host you are configuring has an installed Host Bus Adapter (HBA).
2 Obtain HstRegSrv.exe from your service representative.
3 Select the Windows Start button, and then select Run.
4 Point to HstRegSrv.exe.
5 Select OK.
6 Once installation completes, reboot the system.
HRS executes as a service and therefore launches at boot time.
Installing the Host Registration Service for Solaris
Install this software on a host computer running the Solaris operating system that is attached to an SNC,
MCB or network chassis.
1 Verify that the Solaris host you are configuring has an installed Host Bus Adapter (HBA).
2 Obtain HstRegSrv.tar from your service representative.
3 From the command line type
ps -A | grep hrs
Note
If you plan to use SFM, eVPS, or VPM install HRS on the appropriate hosts. If
you do not plan to use SFM, eVPS, or VPM you can manage your SAN without
installing HRS. However, HRS insures that data path conditioning includes the
host portion of the data path.
Note
On a Windows system, the re-registration period cannot be changed, because
HRS runs as a service rather than an independent program.
Note
You must uninstall previous versions of HRS on Solaris before installing a
newer version.
