Cannot See Other HBAs or Hosts

Situation:

Although HBAnyware is installed, only local host bus adapters (HBAs) are visible. The other HBAs and hosts in the SAN cannot be seen.

Resolution:

HBAnyware uses in-band data communication, meaning that the management server running HBAnyware must have a physical Fibre Channel connection to the SAN. All the HBAs in the SAN will be visible if:

The other servers have a Fibre Channel connection to your zone of the SAN.
All other HBAs are running HBAnyware and the appropriate driver.
The other HBAs are Emulex HBAs.

Note

HBAnyware must be running on all remote hosts that are to be discovered and managed.

Remote capabilities of HBAnyware are subject to fabric zoning configuration. Remote hosts to be discovered and managed by HBAnyware must be in the same zone.
