    Note: Third-party agents are available for other servers. For the latest information about these agents, please contact your Hitachi Data System representative or refer to documentation about a specific agent.

    #1If Windows Firewall has been enabled, the Device Manager agent must be registered as an exception with Windows Firewall when a new installation of the Device Manager agent is performed. For details on how to do this after installing the agent, see Notes for When a Firewall Is Enabled.
    #2The Device Manager agent runs in the usual global environment (global zone) only. If a non-global zone has been created, install the Device Manager agent in the global zone.
    #3The Device Manager agent supports only the Sun Fire x64 server family hardware. In addition, only the 64-bit kernel mode is supported.
