Keep in mind the following:
•
After you use an automator, refresh the element or perform Get Details/Discovery Data
Collection so the management server can obtain new information and update the user interface
accordingly. Only Get Details/Discovery Data Collection removes elements that are no longer
there from the user interface. For example, removed ports could appear in Port Details but not in
the topology for the host if you refresh the element, instead of Get Details/Discovery Data
Collection.
•
All discovered elements are accessible in Business Tools, regardless of a user's restrictions. For
example, assume your account belongs to an organization that has only hosts as members. If
you run Switch Risk Analysis, the management server still provides information about whether the
switches are a risk in your environment.
Using the HBA Replacement Automator
The HBA Replacement Automator makes the management server aware of a replaced HBA card so
that the latest information for zoning and LUN masking is still available. You must complete all steps
to prevent LUN masking from being lost after running the HBA Replacement Automator.
IMPORTANT:
After installing the new HBA, you must run Get Details/Discovery Data Collection
before you run the HBA Replacement Automator script; otherwise, you cannot change zone and
zone aliases to accommodate the new Worldwide Name (WWN).
You have two ways to replace the HBA. You can install the new HBA with the old HBA or you can
install the new HBA by itself.
Installing New HBA with Old HBA
To install the new HBA with the old HBA:
1.
Install the new HBA with the old HBA.
2.
Run Get Details or Discovery Data Collection.
3.
Run the HBA Replacement Automator (Tools > Storage Essentials > Business Tools).
4.
When you run the Automator, select the WWNs of the new and old HBA.
Installing New HBA by Itself
To install the new HBA by itself:
1.
Write down the WWN of the HBA you want to replace. You can find the WWN name of the
HBA by doing the following:
a. Double-click the host of the HBA in System Manager.
b. In the Navigation pane, click the Host Bus Adapters button at the top of the pane.
The host bus adapters for the host are listed and their WWNs. Write down the WWN.
2.
Install the new HBA by itself.
3.
Run Get Details or Discovery Data Collection.
4.
Run the HBA Replacement Automator (Business Tools > HBA Replacement Automator).
