What Host Utilities are

Host Utilities includes support software and documentation for connecting a supported host to an iSCSI or FC network.

The support software includes programs that display information about storage, and programs to collect information that technical support personnel need to diagnose problems. It also includes software to help tune and optimize the host settings for use in a NetApp storage infrastructure.

Separate host utilities are offered for each supported host operating system. In some cases, different versions of the Host Utilities are available for different versions of the host operating system.

The documentation included with the host utilities describes how to install and use the host utilities software. It includes instructions for using the commands and features specific to your host operating system.

You must use the Host Utilities documentation along with this guide to set up and manage your iSCSI or FC network.
