The Host Explorer collects the following information and sends it to the Storage Server:

■Host operating system and version.

■Multipath driver and current multipath configuration.

■Cluster configuration information.

■Device and path Information.

You can automatically have virtual copies created according to a specified schedule by using the scheduling tool (see 6.8 Scheduling Virtual Copies on page 6.19 for details). You have the option of scheduling when (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly) the virtual copy is to be created and then specifying how often the task is to be performed. You can also schedule a virtual copy creation task to occur on a one-time basis.
