Connecting to Hosts
The SANsurfer FC HBA Manager GUI tries to ensure that a host is not loaded more
than once into the HBA tree. If a host has multiple interfaces (for example, more
than one NIC is installed), the SANsurfer FC HBA Manager GUI will not load the
host more than once in the HBA tree if the host IP address is registered with the
DNS server or local host file.
NOTE:
To ensure that a host does not display more than once in the HBA tree,
register each host’s IP address with the DNS server or the local host file.
