[Clariion]What is procedure after HBA replaced?

To maintain connectivity to storage after replacing the HBA, without having to disconnect the host from and then reconnecting to Storage Groups, use the Navisphere Manager reconnect feature.  It updates all connected Storage Groups with any new HBA information.

Follow these steps:
1. In the Hosts tree, right-click the name of the host for which you want to update connectivity status (host with new or replaced HBA) and click Connectivity Status.  The Connectivity Status dialog box lists all the storage system Storage Groups to which this host has access.

2. Click Reconnect to start the reconnect operation.  Navisphere Manager will display a confirmation dialog box listing the Storage Groups to which the reconnect operation will be attempted.

3. Click Yes to continue the reconnect operation.  Click No to cancel the operation and return to the Host Connectivity Status dialog box.

Note: You must register any new or replaced HBA prior to using the reconnect feature.  The performance of the reconnect operation depends on the number of Storage Groups that must be updated with the new HBA information.
