The EZPilot Manager Window

The EZPilot Manager window contains five basic components: the menu bar, the toolbar, the discoverytree, the property tabs and the status bar.
Figure 11: The EZPilot Window with Element Call Outs (Storage View with storage device selected.)
Note: The element you select in the discovery-tree determines whether a menu item or Toolbar icon is active. For example, if you select the local host or other system host, the Reset Adapter item on the Adapter menu is unavailable. The Reset Adapter Toolbar button is unavailable as well.
The Menu Bar

The Menu bar contains command menus that enable you to perform a variety of tasks such as exiting EZPilot Manager, resetting HBAs and sorting items in the discovery-tree view. Many of the Menu bar commands are also available from the Toolbar. The File menu enables you to exit EZPilot Manager. The View menu enables you to turn off and on the Toolbar, Status Bar, and Item Help Tips. You can also choose to display discovered elements starting from the Storage Devices, Hosts, Switches or Local HBAs Only options (see The Toolbar on page 14). You can also enable or disable Advanced Mode.
Note: You must be in Advanced Mode to see the Maintenance tab, update an HBAs firmware/BIOS and to manage a switch.
The Adapter menu enables you to reset a selected adapter (see Resetting an HBA on page 28), edit its name (see Editing an HBAs Name on page 29) or use its default name (see Reverting to an HBAs Default Name on page 29). The Discovery menu enables you to modify discovery properties (see Modifying Discovery Properties on page 17) and to refresh the discovery.
Page 13
The Help menu displays the EZPilot Manager version as well as tech support and system information.
The Toolbar
The Toolbar contains buttons that enable you to refresh the discovery-tree view, reset the selected HBA and sort the discovery-tree view. Many of the Toolbar functions are also available from the Menu bar.

Click the Local HBAs Only button to view local only or both local and remote HBAs in the discovery-tree.
Page 14
The Discovery-Tree
The discovery-tree (left pane) has icons representing discovered network (SAN) elements such as arrays, switches, hosts, logical drives and HBAs.
Figure 13: The EZPilot Discovery-Tree (Host View)
Discovery-Tree Icons
Discovery-tree icons represent the following:
The root of the discovery-tree in Storage View.
The root of the discovery-tree in Host View.
The root of the discovery-tree in Switch View. The local host. Other hosts connected to the fabric.
A green HBA icon with black descriptive text represents an HBA that is online. An HBA icon with a red X represents an HBA that is offline or otherwise temporarily inaccessible. Several situations could cause the HBA to be offline or inaccessible: The HBA on a local host is not connected to the SAN, but is still available for local access.
Page 15
The HBA on a local host is malfunctioning and is inaccessible to the local host as well as to the SAN. The HBA on a local host is busy performing a local firmware download and is temporarily inaccessible to the local host as well as to the SAN. The HBA is being reset or its firmware is being updated.
A grey HBA icon represents an HBA that was removed from the fabric. It will remain in the discovery-tree for thirty minutes after it is removed, unless you change the discovery properties. (See Modifying Discovery Properties on page 17 for more information.) The HBA will disappear from the discovery-tree when EZPilot Manager is exited and restarted.
The Switch icon represents connections to the switch.
The Target icon represents connections to individual targets.
The Logical Drive icon represents connections to individual logical drives.
The Storage icon represents connections to individual storage devices.
Property Windows and Property Pages

The property windows and pages display configuration, statistical and status information for selected SAN elements. The set of available property windows and pages is context-sensitive, depending on the type of element selected in the discovery-tree and the mode in which the utility is running.
Status Bar
The status bar is visible by default. Use the Status Bar item in the View menu to hide the status bar. If the item is checked, the status bar is visible.
Discovering SAN Elements

Hosts, HBAs, switches, storage devices and logical drives are discovered automatically by a discovery server when you launch EZPilot Manager. Discovered SAN elements are displayed in the discoverytree.
Page 16
Modifying Discovery Properties

You can modify the way discovery is performed using the HBA Discovery Properties dialog box. You can define when discovery is performed, how often the information is refreshed and when to remove expired HBAs.
Figure 14: The HBA Discovery Properties dialog box
The HBA Discovery Properties dialog box displays the following information: Discovery Server Startup - The discovery server can be set to start when the system boots or when EZPilot Manager is run for the first time after the system boots. If it is set to start the first time EZPilot Manager is run, there may be a slight delay before the discovery-tree is populated. Refresh Rate - The discovery server periodically runs discovery cycles to detect new HBAs and targets. The refresh rate determines how often this should be done. If Manual Refresh is enabled, you must click Discovery Refresh on the Toolbar to update the discovery-tree.
Note: Because of limitations with the Storport driver, EZPilot Manager does not automatically detect HBAs or targets that were removed from the SAN. In this case, you must manually refresh the discovery-tree by clicking Discovery Refresh on the Toolbar.
Expire Undiscovered HBAs - If the discovery cycle detects that an HBA is no longer available, you may not want it to be removed from the discovery-tree immediately. For example, the state may be momentary, such as when an HBA is being reset or its firmware is being updated. In this case you would check the Never Remove checkbox.
Note: The undiscovered HBA will be removed from the discovery-tree if you exit and restart EZPilot.
You can also set the number of seconds by which to delay removing the HBA from the discovery-tree. The default delay is 30 minutes (1800 seconds).

Troubleshooting
Introduction
There are several circumstances in which your system may operate in an unexpected manner. This chapter provides information regarding these situations. If you have problems during or after installation, contact your supplier.
EZPilot Manager Cannot See Other HBAs or Hosts

Situation: Although EZPilot Manager is installed, only local HBAs are visible. The other HBAs and hosts in the SAN cannot be seen. Resolution: The server running EZPilot Manager must have a physical FC connection to the SAN. All Emulex HBAs in the SAN will be visible if: 1. The installation procedure described in the EZPilot User Manual was followed. 2. The other HBAs are Emulex HBAs. 3. Full Remote or Local Plus management is enabled on the other hosts. (See the appropriate HBA driver manual for information about Management Mode.)
Cannot See New LUNs (Windows)

Situation: Although new LUNs were created on the storage array, they do not appear in EZPilot Manager. Resolution: Refresh the screen.
EZPilot - Troubleshooting Section
Page 50
Cannot See New LUNs or Targets (Linux)

Situation: The HBAnyware utility does not see the targets or LUNs on the storage array. Resolution: Exit HBAnyware and restart the application. Ensure the lpfc driver module is loaded by running lsmod from a terminal window. If the driver module is not loaded, type:
#> insmod lpfc

to load the driver. If the lpfc driver is loaded and HBAnyware still does not see any targets, exit HBAnyware and type:
#> killall elxdiscoveryd

Restart HBAnyware.
