Viewing server details
To view server details, click the icon for the target server.
The server details include the following information:
• HBA
HBA—WWN of the HBA. If an HBA has only one N_Port, the WWN of that N_Port is
used as the WWN of the HBA. The HBA and N_Port should have the same WWN
◦
address. If an HBA has multiple N_Ports, it selects any one N_Port’s WWN address as
its WWN address.
◦ Node Name—WWN of the server where the HBA resides.
◦ Vendor—Vendor of the HBA.
◦ Serial ID—Serial number of the HBA.
◦ Model—Model of the HBA.

Synchronizing servers
VFM does not synchronize servers separately.
It synchronizes server information when synchronizing FCoE switches. For more information, see
"Synchronizing FCoE switches."
Managing storage devices
Storage devices provide data storage service in SANs. In the SAN management module of VFM,
storage devices cannot exist independently. To manage storage devices, you must import them to
their corresponding fabrics.
A storage device cannot be directly imported to a fabric. After you import an FCoE switch to a
fabric, the storage devices that register with the switch are automatically imported to the fabric.
