Once you've deregistered the hosts as Dynamox suggested, you may want to go into the agent .config file of the old hosts and remove the CX500 from that text file.

The agent.confg file can be found at c:\program files\emc\Navisphere Agent

This will suspend any IP communication from the hosts to the array. If the hosts are no longer attached to any Clariions, it would be best to uninstall the Agent altogether.

I did as instructed and updated but the hosts are still showing under the "hosts" tab with the "U".

If the hosts remain with the u after you have modified the agent.config file, you will want to restart the master agent on each sp. To do that, you go to the following address in your browser... where "nameofcx" is the name of your array.

nameofcxA/setup

Then click restart master agent.

then go to nameofcxB/setup

do the same

This simply restarts the service that controls the management of the array, and will not affect I/O.

right click on the array and select Connectivity Status. Click on the host that you are trying to remove and select deregister. Make sure the column "Logged-in" says "No" before you proceed, otherwise you need to take care of removing zones for these hosts to Clariion first.

I assume under 6.19 that "Restart Management Server" is the same here?

FURTHER CLARIFICATION

As I said, I did as suggested above but the hosts still show "U" under the hosts tab. To give better detail the servers that were hosts no longer exists on our network in any form. I understand this is a lesson learned in properly removing a host in the future from our CX500.

I apologize everyone for these questions that are likely simple, I have my training class in May.

Until then, thanks!

Yep, it will work for all flare codes for the CX500s.

To add, you can also go to the direct ip's/setup to restart the management server:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/setup

where xxx.xxx... is the IP address

This should be done to each individual sp.

Hope this helps.

Thank you, I am all clear now.

Anytime.
