Editing LUN paths when replacing a failed HBA
Exchange a failed HBA with a replacement HBA and restore the LUN path settings to the replacement
HBA.
Prerequisites
Gather the following information:
• WWN of the failed HBA
• WWN of the replacement HBA
Tasks to complete beforehand:
• Physically connect the replacement HBA.
1. On the Resources tab, select Hosts.
2. After selecting the target operating system, select the target host row, and click More Actions >
Exchange HBAs to remove LUN paths from a failed HBA and add them to the replacement HBA.
3. Enter the Added or exchanged WWN or select a WWN from the table.
4. Enter the Original WWN from which to restore paths or select a WWN from the list.
The selected WWN will be removed from the host.
5. Click Add.
In the WWN Pairs list, verify that the listed HBA WWN combination before and after the
replacement are paired correctly.
TIP:
• If the WWN information is updated when the host is refreshed, for example when vMA
is used for management, the target WWN might not be displayed in the list. In this case,
you need to manually enter the WWN of the failed HBA.
• To edit a WWN nickname from list of WWN Pairs, click Edit WWN Nicknames.
6. Click Show Plan and confirm that the information in the plan summary is correct. If changes are
required, click Back.
7. (Optional) Update the task name and provide a description.

scheduled to run immediately, you can select View task status to monitor the task after it is
submitted.
