Keep in mind the following:

•After you use an automator, refresh the element or perform Get Details/Discovery Data Collection so the management server can obtain new information and update the user interface accordingly. Only Get Details/Discovery Data Collection removes elements that are no longer there from the user interface. For example, removed ports could appear in Port Details but not in the topology for the host if you refresh the element, instead of Get Details/Discovery Data Collection.

•All discovered elements are accessible in Business Tools, regardless of a user's restrictions. For example, assume your account belongs to an organization that has only hosts as members. If you run Switch Risk Analysis, the management server still provides information about whether the switches are a risk in your environment.

Using the HBA Replacement Automator

The HBA Replacement Automator makes the management server aware of a replaced HBA card so that the latest information for zoning and LUN masking is still available. You must complete all steps to prevent LUN masking from being lost after running the HBA Replacement Automator.

IMPORTANT: After installing the new HBA, you must run Get Details/Discovery Data Collection before you run the HBA Replacement Automator script; otherwise, you cannot change zone and zone aliases to accommodate the new Worldwide Name (WWN).

You have two ways to replace the HBA. You can install the new HBA with the old HBA or you can install the new HBA by itself.

Installing New HBA with Old HBA

To install the new HBA with the old HBA:

1.Install the new HBA with the old HBA.

2.Run Get Details or Discovery Data Collection.

3.Run the HBA Replacement Automator (Tools > Storage Essentials > Business Tools).

4.When you run the Automator, select the WWNs of the new and old HBA.

Installing New HBA by Itself

To install the new HBA by itself:

1.Write down the WWN of the HBA you want to replace. You can find the WWN name of the HBA by doing the following:

a.Double-click the host of the HBA in System Manager.

b.In the Navigation pane, click the Host Bus Adapters button at the top of the pane. The host bus adapters for the host are listed and their WWNs. Write down the WWN.

2.Install the new HBA by itself.

3.Run Get Details or Discovery Data Collection.

4.Run the HBA Replacement Automator (Business Tools > HBA Replacement Automator).
