Importing HBA-to-Host mapping
The Host Port Mapping dialog box enables you to import externally created HBA ports-to-Host
mapping information into the application. The imported file must be in CSV format. The first row
must contain the headers (wwn, name) for the file.
Example
wwn,name
20:00:00:00:C9:69:D5:27, s1
20:00:00:05:1E:0A:35:0E, s2
When the import is complete a result summary displays with the information listed in Table 22.
To import Host port mapping, complete the following steps.
1. Right-click an HBA icon and select Host Port Mapping.
The Host Port Mapping dialog box displays.
2. Click Import.
The Import dialog box displays.
3. Browse to the file (CSV format only) you want to import.
4. Click Open on the Import dialog box.
The file imports, reads, and applies all changes line-by-line and performs the following:
• Checks for correct file structure and well-formed WWNs, and counts number of errors.
If more than 5 errors occur, import fails and a ‘maximum error count exceeded’ message
displays. Edit the Host port mapping file and try again.
• Checks for duplicate HBAs.
If duplicates exist, a message displays with the duplicate mappings detailed. Click Yes to
continue. Click No to edit the Host port mapping file and try again.
