Host Removal; Host Activity On New Host Bus Adapter (Hba) - HP Open View Installation And Maintenance Manual

Host removal

When a host is removed from the storage network, a confirmation message is generated. This
message appears in the following format:
RPIC DPF : HOST hrem : Host removed from lookup table : Index %d
: WWN %s
This message is recorded in the event log. The first number, which is represented in decimal
format, indicates the table index at which the host had appeared within the lookup table. The
second value, which is presented in a string format, contains the world wide name (WWN) of
the host being removed.
This message is used for information purposes only and is not indicative of a problem within
the storage network.

Host activity on new host bus adapter (HBA)

When a host accesses the appliance through a different target number than is indicated by the
target port mask assigned to the host, the access is recorded. When this occurs, the target port
mask for the host is updated to allow access through the new target port, and a confirmation
message is generated in the following format:
RPIC DPF : HOST hhad : Host found on new target HBA : Index %d
: WWN %s : HBA mask 0x%x
This message is recorded in the event log. The first number, which is represented in decimal
format, indicates the table index at which the new host has been inserted into the lookup table.
The second value, which is presented in a string format, contains the world wide name
(WWN) of the new host. The final value, in hexadecimal, represents the target port mask
assigned to the host.
The target port mask is a bit array presented as a single value. Each bit within the mask
indicates whether the host may access the target port represented by the bit. For each bit, a
value of one (1) indicates that the host may connect to that target port. A value of zero (0)
indicates that the host may not connect on that port. With bit ordering, bit zero represents
target port zero and is the least significant bit of the byte. As an example of mask
interpretation, a host that could connect to target ports zero and two would show a target port
mask equal to 0x5, since bits two and zero would be set to one, and all other bits would be
zero.
