System tab for storage host
A storage host is a server, desktop, or workstation connected by an HBA to a SAN. Additional
links are available on the System Page to access detailed information when a storage host is
selected. Included are areas that are unique to storage hosts. HP SIM displays data supplied by
each HBA SMI-S provider. If an HBA SMI-S provider does not supply data for a property, the
property does not appear on this page.
NOTE: To get Storage Port Controller and LUNs information on the System Page, you must install
FC HBA providers (providers which implements Storage Networking Industry Association Fiber
Channel Host Bus Adapter (SNIA FC HBA) profile) on the host where HBA resides. Without these
providers cannot obtain Storage Port Controller and LUNs information even though it is available
in other management applications like HP SMH. If you install HP Insight Management WBEM
Providers for Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008 on a Windows host, then only
Storage Port Controller information is available. You cannot obtain LUNs information with HP
Insight Management WBEM Providers for Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008 x64
Editions. There are no providers available for an HP UX host to obtain LUNs information.
The Host Bus Adapters section shows the date, time, and duration of the last data collection task.
To update the data, click the Last Update link, and schedule or run a Data Collection task.
The Quick Launch hyperlink links to a short list of frequently used tools. Place your cursor over the
link to expand the menu and view the tools available for selected systems. Selecting a tool from
this list bypasses the target verification page of the Task Wizard. You cannot schedule tools
launched from this menu. Customize this menu by clicking the Customize link in the Quick Launch
menu.
