Comparing FC HBA profile against a target system

1. On the System Viewer utility, click Compare FC HBA Configuration Profile.
2. On the Compare FC HBA Configuration Profile screen, click Browse and select the FC HBA profile file that you have applied to the collection.
   A progress bar indicates that the target systems are scanned and an FC HBA comparison report is generated.
3. After the FC HBA comparison report is generated, the following colors are displayed on the screen to indicate the status of comparison:
   • White — indicates that the FC HBA profile that was applied and the profile on the target system are matching.
   • Red — indicates that there is a mismatch while applying the FC HBA profile to the target system.
   • Grey — indicates that either the FC HBA profile you applied is not configured, or the attribute is missing in the target system.
4. The Compare FC HBA Configuration Profile screen displays the following fields:
   • Target Adapter — the type of FC HBA adapter present on the target system. A target system can have multiple adapters.
   • Location Applied — the location that is applied on the target system.
5. Select any record on the comparison report and click View Details to view the port details. The following fields are displayed.
   • Attribute — lists the FC HBA attributes depending on the profile you have selected.
   • System Value — lists the current value of the FC HBA attribute in the target system. If there are no values, the value displayed is NA.
   • Profile Value — lists the value of the FC HBA attributes in a profile. If there are no values, the value displayed is NA.

   The color coding is similar to the Comparison Report screen. See step 3 for details.
