The HBA tree displays the hosts with their connected adapters, devices, and LUNs.
The HBAs (adapters) are displayed with their model name and API instance number.
For example, if a host contains a QLA2200 HBA that has an API instance of 1, it
displays as “HBA 1–2200”.
Each HBA on the host may have targets connected to it. If an HBA is connected to
a target, it has a square button attached to the left. The HBA name can be expanded
by clicking the button. This lists all the devices connected to that HBA. The devices
are listed with their world wide port names (WWPN).
If the target is online, it appears with a square button attached to the left. Online
indicates that the target is powered on and responds to a basic set of SCSI requests
(TUR, RLC, INQ, RC). The square button to the left of the target acts as a flag
indicating if the target is ready.
If the target is offline, there is a red indicator on the icon for the target. There is not
a square button attached to the left.
Clicking on the button attached to a target further expands the tree and shows all
the LUNs in that device. The LUNs are listed with the corresponding LUN numbers.
The right-hand side of the screen contains a series of tabbed pages, which change
depending on what is selected in the HBA tree. When SANblade Control FX starts,
the host Information tabbed page displays. This page provides the following
information about the local machine (host):
n Host name
n OS type
n OS version
Different tabbed pages appear when you click on an adapter name, a target, or a
LUN in the HBA tree. These pages are described in sections 17.5.1 through 17.5.3.
