Cannot See Other HBAs or Hosts.
Although the HBAnyware utility is installed,
only local HBAs are visible. The other HBAs
and hosts in the SAN cannot be seen.
The HBAnyware utility uses in-band data communication,
meaning that the management server running the HBAnyware
utility must have a physical FC connection to the SAN. All the
HBAs in the SAN will be visible if:
• The other servers have a FC connection to your zone of the
SAN. Check fabric zoning.
• Ensure that elxhbamgr processes are running on the remote
host: enter ps -ef | grep elxhbamgr).
• All other HBAs are running the HBAnyware utility and the
appropriate driver.
• Other HBAs are Sun-branded Emulex HBAs or Emulex
HBAs.
Note: The HBAnyware utility must be running on all remote
hosts that are to be discovered and managed. Remote
capabilities of the HBAnyware utility are subject to fabric
zoning configuration. Remote hosts to be discovered and
managed by the HBAnyware utility must be in the same
zone.
SAN Management Workstation Does Not
Have a FC Connection. The SAN
management workstation does not have a
physical FC connection into the SAN
because the other management tools are all
out-of-band. Can the HBAnyware utility be
run on this SAN management workstation?
From the SAN management workstation, run a terminal
emulation session into one of the servers that has the
HBAnyware utility loaded on it. Open an X-Windows session to
run the server's HBAnyware utility GUI remotely.
Cannot See New LUNs. Although new
LUNs were created on the storage array,
they do not appear in the HBAnyware utility.
Refresh the screen.
The HBAnyware Utility Appears on
Remote Servers in the SAN.
To prevent the HBAnyware utility from appearing on remote
servers in the SAN, disable the elxhbamgr process:
1. Navigate to /usr/sbin/hbanyware.
2. Run ./stop_hbanyware to stop both the elxhbamgr
and elxdiscovery processes.
3. Run ./start_elxhbamgr and ./start_elxdiscovery to
restart both processes.
Disabling this service or process prevents the local servers from
being seen remotely.
The HBAnyware Security Configurator
(Security Configurator) software package
will not install. An error message states that
the latest version of the HBAnyware utility
must be installed first.
The system either has no HBAnyware software installed or has
an older version of the HBAnyware software installed. In either
case, obtain the latest version of the HBAnyware software and
follow the installation instructions. Remember to install the
HBAnyware software before installing the Security Configurator
package.
Cannot access formerly accessible
servers via the Security Configurator or
the HBAnyware utility.
This is actually a symptom of two different problems.
• New Keys Were Generated While Servers Were Offline
• Security Removed While Servers Were Offline
See Table 6 on page 137 for details regarding these problems.
