HAFM SW 08.08.00 HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager User Guide (AA-RS2CH-TE, August 2006)

Using the HAFM application66
Importing data
You can import the following information to the application:
• SAN File (zip)—Imports an entire SAN in zip format.
• Nicknames—Imports the nicknames that were assigned to HP switches using the HAFM
appliance and displays them on the Physical Map and Product List as product labels. Nicknames
must have been defined in the Node List View of the HAFM appliance. Nicknames defined in
the Configure Ports area will not be imported. The WWNs in the nicknames file are assumed to
be port WWNs. If this file uses the node WWN, no import will take place. The nicknames file is
located in C:\EfcData\EmsData\efcHafmServices\WwnNicknames.
• Properties (csv)—Imports properties of products and ports, including labels and IP addresses.
The general format for this import is in comma-separated value (CSV) ASCII format. The first line
defines the kind of import (Node or Port) and lists the properties and columns in the Product List.
The first column must be either Node Name or Port Name. Subsequent columns contain property
(column) names. These properties can be standard (for example, Label), or user-defined (for
example, Cabinet Color). Non-editable properties will not be imported (for example, Port
Count). Non-existent columns will be ignored. The format is space sensitive (only commas are
used as separators), so trim leading or trailing spaces unless you want to import them as part of
the data. To import port properties, use the Port Name column header. Port import will only
allow the Label property to be set.
• HBA Node Name—Imports data to an HBA, use Node import but specify the HBA’s port WWN
in the Node Name column. This is necessary since the HBA’s node WWN does not uniquely
identify an HBA. Using the port WWN makes it possible to uniquely specify an HBA.
• Server HBA Mappings (csv)—Imports Server HBA Mappings into the existing Fabric Map. The
general format for this import is in comma-separated value (CSV) ASCII format. The first row
contains the header for the file, which does not effect the import process; however, text must be
present. The first two boxes must be the World Wide Port Name (WWNN), then the Server
Nickname. If either of these boxes is empty, the entry is null and is not imported. All additional
boxes are ignored during the import process. The format is space-sensitive (only commas are
used as separators) so trim leading or trailing spaces unless you want to import them as part of
the data.
• Storage Port Mappings (csv)—Imports Storage Port Mappings into the existing Fabric Map. The
general format for this import is in comma-separated value (CSV) ASCII format. The first row
contains the header for the file, which does not effect the import process; however, text must be
present. The first two boxes must be the WWPN, then the Storage Device Nickname. If either of
these boxes are empty, the entry is null and is not imported. All additional boxes are ignored
during the import process. The format is space-sensitive (only commas are used as separators) so
trim leading or trailing spaces unless you want to import them as part of the data.
CAUTION: Importing files clears the Master Log of previous events.
