Host Explorer Agent default network port/s

Post by cecchetti »

anyone know the Host Explorer Agent default network port/s

Have just starting installing this on some of the 3pars here and if I am on the same subnet as the 3par it works,
On hosts that are on different subnets I can not see the hosts from the imc.

I am under the impression that Host Explorer is NOT a tcpip application, thus no network ports/coms at all. All communication happens through scsi requests to a special SES LUN (255 I think) that may or may not be present based on the persona you have the host configured as. Similar to an EMC Symetrix gatekeeper device, or a Clariion LUNz device.

Check your personas on the hosts that work vs the ones that don't work.
