View Discovered Elements

Viewing Discovery Information

The Discovery Information tab contains a general summary of the discovered SAN elements. The Host or Fabric icon, depending upon which view is selected, is the root of the discovery-tree, but it does not represent a specific network element. Expanding it will reveal all hosts, LUNs, fabrics, targets and HBAs that are visible on the SAN.

To view discovery information:

Start HBAnyware.
Click the Host or Fabric icon at root of the discovery-tree. Discovered SAN elements appear in the discovery-tree. Select an element from the discovery-tree to learn more about it.
