Possible topology issues:

HBA host port removed from host

A host bus adapter (HBA) host port was removed from the host.

Resolution instructions:

  1. Determine which HBA host port was removed by comparing the HBA host ports in the detected configuration to those in the existing configuration (see the details area).
  2. Go to Modify > Edit Topology and select the HBA host port that was removed, and remove the HBA host port.
  3. If the HBA for this host port has more than one host port, you must remove all other host ports associated with the HBA.

HBA host port replaced

A host bus adapter (HBA) host port was replaced with another HBA host port.

Resolution instructions:

  1. Determine which HBA host port was replaced by comparing the HBA host ports in the detected configuration to those in the existing configuration (see the details area).
  2. Go to Modify > Edit Topology, select the HBA host port that was replaced, and replace the HBA host port.
  3. If the HBA for this host port has more than one host port you must replace all other host ports associated with the HBA.

HBA host port added to host

An additional host bus adapter (HBA) host port was added to the host.

Resolution instructions:

  1. Determine which HBA host port was added by comparing the HBA host ports in the detected configuration to those in the existing configuration (see the details area).
  2. Go to Modify > Edit Topology and add the new HBA host port.
  3. If the HBA for this host port has more than one host port, you must add all other host ports associated with the HBA.

Host name changed

The name of the host was changed. Alternatively, one or more of the host bus adapter (HBA) host ports in the host was moved to another host or hosts

Resolution instructions:

  1. Check the details area to see if some of the HBA host ports associated with the host in the existing configuration are now associated with other hosts. If they are, refer to the issue entitled, “Host bus adapter (HBA) host ports moved from one host to another host or hosts.”
  2. Alternatively, go to Modify > Edit Topology, select the host and rename the host to the host name shown in the detected configuration.

HBA host port moved

A host bus adapter (HBA) host port was removed from the host and placed in another host.

Resolution instructions:

  1. Determine which HBA host port(s) were moved by comparing the HBA host ports in the detected configuration to those in the existing configuration (see the details area).
  2. Go to Modify > Edit Topology, select the HBA host port that was moved, and move it to the appropriate host.
  3. If the HBA for this host port has more than one host port, you must move all other host ports associated with the HBA.

Note: You will continue to receive a topology conflict resolution warning if you created a virtual host containing one or more HBA host ports that are physically located in a different host. You can avoid the warning by moving the port(s) back into the host where they are located physically (using the Edit Topology task), or disabling the host agent so the warning is no longer reported. Refer to the product documentation for instructions if you want to disable the host agent software.
