HP 8.20q Fibre Channel Switch - Manual (Page 60)

60 Managing HBAs
NOTE: In the unlikely event of using an unsigned HP StorageWorks 81Q PCI-e Fibre Channel HBA
Windows driver, a Hardware Installation message states the software “has not passed Windows
Logo testing.” If you still want to update the HBA driver with the unsigned driver, click Continue
Anyway. If you do not want to use the unsigned driver, click STOP Installation.
When you update a remote server’s HBAs with an unsigned driver, the Hardware Installation
message appears on the remote server and the Simple SAN Connection Manager server is not
aware of the message that requires manual selection. If no action is taken on the remote server,
Simple SAN Connection Manager times out after about three to four minutes and shows a message
that the driver update has been successful but needs to be rebooted to complete. To proceed with
the update on the remote server using the unsigned driver, click Continue Anyway on that server. If
you do not want to use the unsigned driver, click STOP Installation.
Creating an alias for an HBA
You can create alias (user-friendly) names for HBAs to help you easily identify them in Simple SAN
Connection Manager.
To create an alias for an HBA:
1. On the LUN Assignment or Physical Connection map, right-click a host bus adapter (HBA) icon, and
then on the shortcut menu, click Create HBA Alias.
The Create HBA Alias dialog box (
Figure 42 ) shows the HBA port name and server name.

2. Enter an alias name to replace the HBA name, and then click OK.
The Physical Connection and LUN Assignment maps are updated with the new HBA alias name.
