Specifying HBA-Host map details (optional)

HBA-Host map file contains HBA-Node WWN and host mapping details. If this map file is provided
in the raw report, then the processed report maps the HBA-Node WWNs to the host names, and the
same information is displayed in the processed report.

You can create a new HBA-Host map file or you can import an existing HBA-Host map file.

HBA-Host map file can be a .csv file (comma separated file) or it can be a Fnames.conf file. The
Fnames.conf

file is the HP StorageWorks Command View EVAPerf configuration file. SAN Visibility

5.0 enables you to parse and populate the corresponding mapping entries from the .csv file.
