About the Business Tools
Business Tools provides the following functionality to help you manage the business aspect of your
network.
• Advisors - Provides detailed information for you to make informed decisions about your network,
such as non-compliant HBA firmware. You may have access to the following advisors depending
on your release:
• Reachable Storage - Provides information about the storage accessible from a selected host,
such as the following:
• Free volumes on current storage systems
• LUNs mapped to host, but not mounted with file systems
• Free volumes on other storage systems in host fabrics
• Free volumes on all other storage systems
• HBA Risk Analysis - It examines whether the HBAs are at risk. Configure the
hba_risk_analysis.conf
file before you run this tool. See ” Setting up Risk Analysis ” on
page 677 for more information.
• Switch Risk Analysis - It examines whether the switches are at risk. Configure the
switch_risk_analysis.conf
file before you run this tool. See ” Setting up Risk
Analysis ” on page 677 for more information.
• Global Change Management - It lets you record the properties and connections of managed
elements. See ” Global Change Management ” on page 678.
• 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. See ” Using the HBA
Replacement Automator ” on page 676 before you use this tool.
Keep in mind the following:
• After you use an automator, refresh the element or perform Discovery Data Collection so the
management server can obtain new information and update the user interface accordingly.
