System tab for a storage host

A storage host is a server, desktop, or workstation that is connected by a host bus adapter (HBA) to a storage
area network (SAN). Additional links are available on the System Page to access detailed information
when a storage host is selected. Included here are the areas that are unique to storage hosts. HP Systems
Insight Manager (HP SIM) displays data supplied by each HBA's

SMI-S provider

. If an HBA's SMI-S provider

does not supply data for a particular property, the property does not appear on this page. See

“System tab”

for additional information about the tab.

The Host Bus Adapters section shows the date, time, and duration of the last data collection task. If you want
to update the data, click the Last Update link, and schedule or run a Data Collection task. Refer to

“Data

collection”

for additional information about data collection tasks.

If this host is managed by HP Storage Essentials, the Host Bus Adapters and LUNs sections do not appear
on this page, and an SE System Properties link appears in the Storage Essentials Pages section on
the Tools & Links tab. Click the SE System Properties link to view the Storage Essentials device page
for this storage host.
