Step 12
Run the Host Agent to Register the Server HBAs
When the Host Agent starts, it registers server HBAs with any storage systems that
are connected to the HBAs either directly or through switches. It does this
registration by sending the HBA initiator records to the storage systems.
For certain operating systems, the Host Agent starts automatically when you boot the server.
Run the Host Agent on the Server
Either start or restart (stop and start) the Host Agent on the server:
•

re.agent start
