HBA server mapping
HBAs and servers discovered through a fabric can be easily identified in the topology by their
product icons. For a list of products and their icons, refer to “Product icons” on page 18. Once
identified in the topology, you can create servers and assign the HBAs to them and import an
externally created HBA server mapping file (.CSV) to the Management application.
NOTE
The Management application now enables you to map HBAs from multiple fabrics (previous versions
limited HBA mapping to one fabric).
The Management application also enables you to discover hosts directly using Host discovery (for
step-by-step instructions, refer to “Host discovery” on page 47). If you discover a host directly, when
you open the HBA Server Mapping dialog box the Management application automatically groups all
HBAs under the host.
If you create a new HBA server and associate HBAs to it, then you try to discover a host with the
same HBAs using Host discovery, the HBA’s discovered using host discovery must match the HBAs
associated to the HBA server exactly; otherwise, Host discovery will fail.
