How do I match an HBA host port identifier to a host?


Important:

You must associate identifiers ( ) with the applicable to make sure to correctly access to the data on the . If you associate the wrong HBA host ports, you might cause unintended access to data.

To determine the available HBA host port identifiers, check the for each HBA in your host. Use the WWID information gathered from the BIOS to associate the HBA host port identifiers (WWIDs) to a host in the Define Host Wizard - Specify Name/Port Identifier dialog. The HBA host port identifiers shown in this dialog are automatically detected by the and are not associated with a particular host. You must correctly associate each HBA host port identifier with its associated host; otherwise, the host will access incorrect logical drives.

When you associate HBA host port identifiers with the applicable hosts, the HBA host port identifiers are removed from the Known HBA port names list.


Note:

Some HBA host port identifiers in the Known HBA port names list are other devices on the loop and might not be associated with HBAs.
