Dirk, you can stop the Storage Agent Client by routing the HALT command to it since it is a defined server.

Hello, one of our customers wants to implement a SAN (2x ESS F20, 2 STK 9310, 2 TSM Serves p660, TSNM, FC/9000 directors, etc.) but is not willing to install the Internet Explorer 5 on his Windows servers (for security reasons). He wants to know why the IE5 is necessary for the Storage Agent (SA) and if it's possible to use the SA without it? AFAIK the only reason for the IE5 should be the MMC (Microsoft Management Console) that provides a GUI for the configuration of the SA. But I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be possible to configure the SA just with the command line interface. The only thing I don't know right now is how can I stop the agent via the command line? Does dsmsta have an undocumented command line switch? And do I really have to start it manually every time the system is rebooted or is there the possibility to use dsmcutil to create a service?
