creation and diagnosing host connectivity issues.When a host is created on the InServ Storage Server, unassigned WWNs or iSCSI names are
presented to the storage server. Without the Host Explorers running on the attached hosts,
the storage server is unable to determine which host the WWN or iSCSI names belongs to and
you must manually assign each WWN or iSCSI name to a host. With Host Explorers running, the
InServ Storage Server automatically groups WWNs or iSCSI names for the host together,
assisting with creating the host.
The Host Explorer collects the following information and sends it to the storage server:

2.1 The 3PAR Host Explorer 2.1
2.1 The 3PAR Host ExplorerThe 3PAR Host Explorer is a program that runs on a host connected to an InServ Storage Server.
The Host Explorer is an agent that runs as a service on Windows and as a daemon on Linux and
Solaris operating systems. No license is required to use the 3PAR Host Explorer.
The Host Explorer communicates with the storage server over an FC or iSCSI connection and
enables the host to send detailed host configuration information to the storage server. The
information gathered from the Host Explorer is visible for uncreated hosts and assists with host 2.1Overview

following platforms:
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and 2008, 32 bit and 64 bit
Red Hat Linux systems running RHEL4 Update 6 or later and RHEL5
Sparc systems running Solaris 10
3.2 Installation and VerificationThis section describes how to install and verify installation of a 3PAR Host Explorer agent. You
must have the 3PAR Host Explorer CD, part number 780-200053 to install the 3PAR Host
Explorer.
NOTE: For information about supported platforms, refer to the InForm OS
Configuration Matrix available from 3PARs Document Control System.
NOTE: In order for the InServ Storage Server to dynamically discover host devices,
you must follow specific configuration instructions for the host operating system
and HBA. See the 3PAR Implementation Guides for recommended practices and
detailed configuration information about using your specific host devices with
the InServ Storage Server.
NOTE: Each host connected to the InServ Storage Server must use a host persona
with the SCSI Enclosure Services LUN (SESLun) enabled, or the Host Explorer agent
cannot communicate with the InServ Storage Server. If you upgraded to 3PAR
InForm Operating System version 2.3.1 from a previous release, you must convert
your legacy personas to new host personas. For information about configuring
host personas, see the 3PAR InForm OS CLI Administrators Manual or the 3PAR
InForm OS Management Console Online Help.Overview

4.2 Verifying the 3PAR Host Explorer Package is InstalledTo verify that the 3PAR Host Explorer package has been installed correctly, see the appropriate
section below:
To find out if the product is installed on a Solaris system, see Verifying the Installation on
Solaris Sparc Systems on page 3.4.
To find out if the product is installed on a Linux system, see Verifying the Installation on
Red Hat Linux Systems on page 3.4.
To find out if the product is installed on a Windows system, see: Verifying the Installation
on Microsoft Windows Server on page 3.3.
4.3 Verifying the 3PAR Host Explorer Process is RunningX To verify that the 3PAR Host Explorer process is running, issue the TpdHostAgent status
command.
Example output:
4.4 Stopping the 3PAR Host Explorer ProcessBy default, the Host Explorer process starts at every reboot of the host.
X If you do not want the process running on the host, issue the TpdHostAgent stop command.

3PAR Host Explorer Users Guide4.5 Starting the 3PAR Host Explorer ProcessX To start the Host Explorer process, issue the TpdHostAgent start command.
4.6 Supporting Multiple InServ Storage Servers on a Single HostThe 3PAR Host Explorer reports the information it collects to every InServ Storage Server
attached to the host.
If an InServ Storage Server is added or removed after the initial installation of the 3PAR Host
Explorer, a refresh is needed.
X To refresh the Host Explorer process, issue the TpdHostAgent refresh command.
4.7 Supporting VMware Virtual Machines with iSCSIThe 3PAR Host Explorer supports VMware Virtual Machines connected to InServ Storage
Servers with iSCSI connections. For information about supported Operating Systems on
VMware Virtual Machines, refer to the InForm OS Configuration Matrix available from 3PARs
Document Control System.
4.8 The 3PAR Host Explorer Enclosure Device LUNWhen a host is connected to an InServ Storage Server, an enclosure device with LUN ID 254 is
automatically defined for the host. The 3PAR Host Explorer uses this enclosure device to
exchange information about the host with the InServ Storage Server. The LUN with ID 254 acts
as both a data LUN and an enclosure service LUN. You can use LUN ID 254 for any application
with limited impact on performance. The level of impact on performance depends on the
application. The LUN with ID 254 is presented to the host even when no virtual volumes are
exported to the host, or when the host is not configured on the InServ Storage Server.4.3Starting the 3PAR Host Explorer Process
4.4
3PAR Host Explorer Users Guide4.8.1 InServ Storage Server Upgrades and Enclosure Devices
If you upgraded to 3PAR InForm Operating System version 2.3.1 from a previous release, you
must consider the following notes about LUNs with ID 254.
If you had a LUN with ID 254 before you upgraded to 2.3.1, the host persona for the host is
set to the Generic-Legacy persona number 6 during the upgrade process. The port persona
number must be reset to Generic persona number 1 before the Host Explorer can
communicate with the InServ Storage Server.
1) Use the InForm Command Line Interface (CLI) sethost persona 1 command to set the host persona number to 1.
2) Use the controlport offline command to take the InServ Storage Server port the host is connected to offline.
3) Use the controlport rst command to reset the InServ Storage Server port connected to the host.
Alternatively, if you reboot the host after resetting the persona number as described in
step 1, the Host Explorer automatically discovers the enclosure device on LUN ID 254 and
sends the information to the InServ Storage Server. For more information about CLI
commands, see the 3PAR InForm OS CLI Administrators Manual.
If you add a host after you upgrade to 2.3.1, the host persona number for the host must be
set to 1. For more information about creating and modifying hosts, see the 3PAR InForm OS
CLI Administrators Manual.
You can also use the InForm Management Console to configure and administer hosts
connected to the InServ Storage Servers. For more information, see the 3PAR InForm OS
Management Console Online Help.The 3PAR Host Explorer Enclosure Device LUN
