### Plug-In Prerequisites

- The Capacity Reporter 5.0.1 Windows NT/Windows 2000 Agent (or greater) must be installed on the computer.
- Note: The Capacity Reporter T3 Array console defines 1 KB as 1000 bytes, 1 MB as 1000 KB, 1 GB as 1000 MB, and so on; the Capacity Reporter software defines 1 KB as 1024 bytes, 1 MB as 1024 KB, 1 GB as 1024 MB, and so on. Because of this difference, you will see discrepancies between storage capacity reported by the T3 console and Capacity Reporter for a given T3 Array. The actual physical storage capacity of the device does not change.

### Before You Register This Plug-In

The Plug-In Registration Wizard prompts for the following information; organize it beforehand to save time:

- The network name of the Capacity Reporter T3 Array controller that you want to scan. This is the TCP/IP network name required by the Capacity Reporter Agent to locate and communicate with that system. You might need to use a fully qualified DNS name. If you can issue a ping command from the Capacity Reporter Agent computer, the name works.

### Using the Plug-In Registration Wizard

For general instructions on using the Plug-In Registration Wizard, see Basic Instructions for Running the Plug-In Registration Wizard.

Specific instructions for registering a T3 Array controller include:

1. When registering a T3 Array controller with the Capacity Reporter Server, you must follow these guidelines when entering information in the Required Registration Information dialog box:
   - T3 IP Address\DNS Name — Enter the IP address or DNS name of the T3 Array that you want to scan.
   - SRM Display Name — Enter the name of the T3 Array that you want to be displayed in Capacity Reporter SRM reports. This name is arbitrary; it can be any name that has meaning in your enterprise storage network.
2. If you successfully registered the T3 Array controller, it is located in the group named RAID Group.

### Editing Scan Proxy Information

Using Capacity Reporter, you can edit the proxy system settings for a registered T3 Array RAID controller. This consists of changing the Capacity Reporter Agent computer to use for computer scans.

To edit scan proxy information:

1. Launch the software.
2. Click the Options tab, and then click the Scans notebook.
3. In the navigation pane, click select proxy. The Select Proxy page is displayed.
4. Next to the RAID option, click Modify. The Modify Scan Settings for RAID page is displayed.
5. In the Select a managed object list box, select the RAID subsystem you want to modify, and make the necessary changes.

You can change the following setting:

Computer Scan Agent — Enter the name of a managed Capacity Reporter Agent computer that has the correct plug-in installed on it. If you select a Capacity Reporter Agent 5.0.1 (or greater) computer that does not have the correct plug-in installed, all computer scans for the selected T3 Array controller fail.

### Uninstalling the Plug-In
