Planning for Storage Resource agents
Use Storage Resource agents to collect asset and configuration information about servers.
You can deploy Storage Resource agents from the IBM Spectrum Control GUI. You must have administrative privileges to deploy Storage Resource agents.
To deploy a Storage Resource agent from the GUI, go to . Click Add Server, select Deploy an agent for full server monitoring, and select a method for adding a server. You can add a single server by manually entering server information or you can add multiple servers by importing configuration information from a file. If you add multiple servers, a time span is calculated during which the agents are deployed. The agents are deployed at regular intervals during the time span to avoid excessive load on the IBM Spectrum Control server.
