To create an alias for an HBA:
1. On the LUN Assignment or Physical Connection map, right-click a host bus adapter (HBA) icon, and
then on the shortcut menu, click Create HBA Alias.
The Create HBA Alias dialog box (Figure 47) shows the HBA port name and server name.

2. Enter an alias name to replace the HBA name, and then click OK.
The Physical Connection and LUN Assignment maps are updated with the new HBA alias name.
Manually entering FDMI information
If Simple SAN Connection Manager detects any HBA without a server name or OS type, a message
appears informing you that the HBA Fabric Device Management Interface (FDMI) is either disabled or
failed to register the required information. Simple SAN Connection Manager then asks if you want to
manually enter the HBA’s host name and OS type, or if you want to check the HBA FDMI service status.
• If you choose to check the HBA FDMI service status, a message warns you that you must either reload
the HBA driver, reset the HBA, or even reboot the server for the FDMI data to be registered into the
switch, and that you must close and restart Simple SAN Connection Manager for it to discover any new
FDMI data.
• If you choose to manually enter the data, follow these steps. (The HBA information you enter will be
saved in Simple SAN Connection Manager so that you will not be prompted again.)
To manually enter the HBA server name and OS type:
1. To enter FDMI information, respond Yes/OK to the prompt to manually enter the HBA’s host name and
OS type.
The Enter HBA Server Name and OS Type dialog box (Figure 48) lists all the HBAs with either a
missing Server Name, Server OS, or both.
