and a target

host port connections with other hardware (such as targets) on the network

❑ View the connection error log, which displays the 100 latest connection errors

for an HBA port

■ HBA state and target session connection state monitoring. SANsurfer iSCSI

HBA Manager monitors connected QLogic iSCSI HBAs and their targets and

informs you of their state. For HBAs, the most severe state displays: bad,

unknown, warning, or good.
