Displaying HBAs

Using HBAnyware, you can sort the way discovered adapters are displayed. You can sort adapters by host name, fabric name, adapter name, target name, and LUN name.

You can also choose to view local HBAs or remote HBAs. By default, both local and remote HBAs are displayed by host name/fabric name.

Sort by Host Name

  • Initially sorts by host name. Host names cannot be changed using HBAnyware; names must be changed locally on that system.

  • Within each host system, sorts by HBA model.

  • If multiple HBAs have the same model number, sorts models by World Wide Node Name.

  • If targets are present, sorts by World Wide Port Name. Multiple HBAs may refer to the same target.

  • If LUNs are present, sorts by LUN name.

Sort by Fabric Address

  • Displays not only the HBAs belonging to a given fabric, but also the name of the host on which each HBA is installed.  

  • Initially sorts by fabric ID.

  • Within each fabric ID, sorts by HBA model.

  • If multiple HBAs have the same model number, sorts models by World Wide Node Name.

  • If targets are present, sorts by World Wide Port Name. Multiple HBAs may refer to the same target.

  • If LUNs are present, sorts by LUN name.

  • If the fabric ID is all zeros, no fabric attachment is present.

To sort adapters:

  1. Start HBAnyware.

  2. Switch between host name or fabric ID in one of two ways:

    • From the menu bar: click View, then select Sort by Host Name or Sort by Fabric ID. The current adapter display mode is checked.

    • From the toolbar, click one of the following buttons:

        Sort by host name (default).

        Sort by fabric ID.

  3. HBAnyware sorts in ascending order. The sort recognizes letters, numbers, spaces and punctuation marks.

Display Local HBAs Only

  • Displays local host name or fabric address.

To display local HBAs only:

  1. Start HBAnyware.

  2. Display local HBAs only  in one of two ways:

    • From the menu bar: click View, then select Local HBAs Only. The current adapter display mode is checked.

    • From the toolbar, click   Display Local HBAs Only.
