A storage host is a server, desktop, or workstation that is connected by a host bus adapter (HBA) to a storage area network (SAN). Additional links are available on the System Page to access detailed information when a storage host is selected. Included here are the areas that are unique to storage hosts. HP SIM displays data supplied by each HBA's SMI-S provider. If an HBA's SMI-S provider does not supply data for a particular property, the property does not appear on this page. Refer to System Page - Identity Tab for Servers for additional information about the tab.

The Host Bus Adapters section shows the date, time, and duration of the last data collection task. If you want to update the data, click the Last Update link, and schedule or run a Data Collection task. Refer to Administering Systems and Events - Data Collection for additional information about data collection tasks.

If this host is managed by HP Storage Essentials, the Host Bus Adapters and LUNs sections do not appear on this page, and an SE System Properties link appears in the Storage Essentials Pages section on the Tools & Links tab. Click the SE System Properties link to view the Storage Essentials device page for this storage host.

If a system is managed by HP Storage Essentials, it does not show the SMI subtype.

  • Product Name. The product name for the HBA, for example, a model number.

  • Product Vendor. The HBA vendor.

  • Product Identifying Number. A unique identifier for the HBA, for example, a serial number.

  • Product Version. The HBA product version.

  • Driver Version. The installed HBA driver version.

  • LUN Name. The name of a LUN in use by the selected host.

  • LUN Number. The number by which the LUN (as seen through this port) is known to the storage host.

  • Storage Device. The name of the storage device that contains the listed LUN. Click the storage device name to view the storage device System Page.

    A link from a LUN to a storage device appears in this column only if the LUN is reported by the SMI-S provider of the storage array on which the LUN resides, and is reported with the same Name property used by the HBA's SMI-S provider. If these conditions are not met, but the HBA's SMI-S provider reports the LUN, the LUN's storage device is listed as Unknown.
