Path Name: The path name, which indicates a path. When you modify the system
configuration or replace a hardware item, you should check the path names to identify the
paths that will be affected by the change. A path name consists of the following four
elements, separated by periods:

„

Host port number (hexadecimal number)

„

Bus number (hexadecimal number)

„

Target ID (hexadecimal number)

„

Host LU number (hexadecimal number)

Table 6.7 shows the elements of a path name and their representation in Windows.

configuration. For details on the target ID, see the relevant documentation, such as the HBA
manual.

System: This column displays the names of the corresponding storage system to which each
path is connected. This name allows you to specify the storage system to be accessed via a
path. A storage system name consists of the following three elements, separated by periods:

„

Vendor ID: The name of the storage system vendor (for example, HITACHI).

„

Model ID: Indicates the model name of the storage system (for example, 9970/9980
indicates the Lightning 9900V Series).

„

Serial number: The serial number of the storage system (for example, 03A97).

You can physically specify a storage system by referencing these elements of information
from the storage system management program.

Table 6.8 shows the model IDs displayed in the Path List view, and the model names of
corresponding storage systems supported by HDLM.
