Sorting HBA Information
You can sort discovered HBAs by host name, fabric ID, HBA name, target name and LUN number. You can
also view local or remote HBAs. By default, both local and remote HBAs are sorted by host name.
To sort HBAs:
1. Switch between host name or fabric ID in one of two ways:
• From the menu bar: click View, then click Sort by Host Name or Sort by Fabric ID.
• From the toolbar, click one of the following buttons:
Sort HBAs by Host Name (default) .
Sort HBAs by Fabric ID .
2. The HBAnyware utility sorts in ascending order. The sort recognizes letters, numbers, spaces
and punctuation marks.
Sort by Host Name
• Initially sorts by host name. You cannot change host names using the HBAnyware utility;
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
(WWNN).
• If targets are present, sorts by WWPN. Multiple HBAs may refer to the same target.
• If LUNs are present, sorts by LUN number.
Sort by Fabric ID
• Initially sorts by fabric ID.
• Within each fabric ID, sorts by HBA model.
• If multiple HBAs have the same model number, sorts models by WWNN.
• If targets are present, sorts by WWPN. Multiple HBAs may refer to the same target.
• If LUNs are present, sorts by LUN number.
• If the fabric ID is all zeros, no fabric is attached.

Viewing Remote and Local HBAs

The Local HBAs Only menu item and button both work with the Sort by Host Name and Sort by Fabric ID
buttons. The first time you select this menu item or click this button, only local HBAs are displayed. To
change the view back to remote HBAs, select the menu item or click the Local HBAs Only button again.
To toggle between remote and local HBA views, do one of the following:
• From the menu bar: click View, then click Local HBAs Only.
• From the toolbar, click the Local HBAs Only button: .
