SAN Manager LM Basics
Missing Host and Device Icons
When hosts or devices are missing or offline, their icons are displayed in gray. For
instructions on removing missing hosts and devices from the SAN database, see chapter 4.
The SAN Manager LM administration application will not list a host as missing if it found a
database at startup and then was disconnected from the SAN, but still remains attached to
the TCP/IP network. If the host is still running and has a valid TCP/IP network connection,
SAN Manager LM can still communicate with the host’s SAN Manager LM service and
change device assignments even if the host is disconnected from the SAN.
A SAN Manager LM host is displayed as missing in the following situations:
• The host cannot be contacted reliably via the TCP/IP network.
• The SAN Manager LM service is not responding or is not installed.
• The host did not find a database at startup.
Note SAN Manager LM detects hosts that are powered up and connected to the
network whether or not a user is logged on.
