Description

Property

The vendor of the HBA.

Vendor

The status of the HBA. Possible values:

Present—For VSM server hosts, this indicates that the host is polling to the VSM
server through this HBA, as expected. For other hosts, this indicates that the
DPMs recognize this HBA on the fabric and that the HBA is active.

Failed— For a VSM server host, this means that the HBA is recognized on the
fabric but the host is not polling through the HBA to the VSM server. Therefore,
the host and the VSM server are not communicating through this HBA. For
other hosts, this means that the DPMs that expose this HBA to the VSM server
have failed.

Absent—This indicates that the HBA is no longer visible on the fabric. For VSM
server hosts, this status is reported by the VSM server that detects that the HBA
is no longer connected. For other hosts, this status is reported to the VSM
server by DPMs. The cause could be zoning configuration, the absence of a
cable, or the absence of the HBA.

Status

The type of connections over which the VSM servers of the local SVSP domain
recognize the HBA. Possible values:

FC—The HBA is recognized by VSM servers of the local SVSP domain only
over Fibre Channel connections.

Mixed—The HBA is recognized by VSM servers of the local SVSP domain over
both iSCSI and Fibre Channel connections.

Local—The HBA is local to a VSM server which is the sole VSM server of the
local SVSP domain.

Connection Type

A free text display field.

Comment

The time the VSM created the HBA object.

Creation Time

The user who created the HBA. The value is always “system” since the VSM creates
the object when the VSM server first detects the HBA.

Created By

The time the HBA was last modified.

Modification Time

The user who last modified the HBA. To modify the text that appears here, right-
click the HBA and select Manage > Edit Comment. You can use this field for any
purpose.
