Specifying HBA-Host map details (optional)
HBA-Host map file contains HBA-Node WWN and host mapping details. If this map file is provided
in the raw report, then the processed report maps the HBA-Node WWNs to the host names, and
the same information is displayed in the processed report.
You can create a new HBA-Host map file or you can import an existing HBA-Host map file.
HBA-Host map file can be a .csv file (comma separated file) or it can be a Fnames.conf file.
The Fnames.conf file is the HP Storage Command View EVAPerf configuration file. SAN Visibility
enables you to parse and populate the corresponding mapping entries from the .csv file.
