• Serial Number • Bus Type • Rebuild Priority • LUNs Active Controller(s) • LUN Flags Refreshing the server list Simple SAN Connection Manager provides server list management with the ability to quickly refresh the server list comprising your SAN. When you refresh the server list, the most current topology of your SAN is shown in the Physical Connection and LUN Assignment maps. NOTE: Simple SAN Connection Manager discovers only servers connected to the first IP domain on the host, and it discovers only servers on the same subnet. If you have multiple IP addresses belonging to different subnets, it discovers servers only on the first subnet. Multiple domains are not currently supported. To change the order of servers, use the Windows network connections settings for advanced TCP/IP (for assistance, refer to your Windows documentation). To refresh servers: 1. On the Advanced Operations menu, click Refresh the Server List. A message box informs you that Simple SAN Connection Manager will delete all server and HBA data and rebuild the list, advises you that the process may take a while, and asks if you want to continue. 2. To continue with server and HBA discovery as if launching Simple SAN Connection Manager for the the first time, click Yes. To cancel this request, click No. Simple SAN Connection Manager updates the navigation pane (left pane) and the topology maps in the content pane (right pane) to reflect the addition and removal of servers. Setting a server agent password Simple SAN Connection Manager provides a quick and easy way to set server agent passwords within your SAN. These passwords are required to update the HP StorageWorks PCIe FC HBA BIOS and driver. NOTE: This feature is not supported with Emulex based HBAs. To set a server agent password: 1. To access the Set New Password for Server dialog box, choose one of the following options: • On the HBA & Switch Management menu, click Set Server Agent Password. • In the content pane's topology map, right-click the server icon to select a specific server, and then on the shortcut menu, click Set Server Agent Password. The Set New Password for Server dialog box (Figure 68) opens. 102 Managing servers
