For each FC host connection you want to create, you can set the following
parameters:
• Host Name — The host device name.
• Host Port — The host port number.
• WWPN — The World Wide Port Name of the host device. The WWPN
text box is limited to 17 lowercase alphanumeric characters and
colons (:). The WWPN must be typed in the following format:
12345678:0b33ef12.
• Type — The appropriate host operating system.
• I/O blades — Lists the I/O blades you can select for the host.
Modifying an FC Host Connection 5
For each FC host connection you want to modify, you can set the
following parameters:
• Host Name — The host device name.
• Host Port — The host port number.
• Type — The appropriate host operating system.
You cannot modify the WWPN. If you want to change the WWPN, you
must delete and re-create the FC host connection.
Note: These operations should not be performed concurrently by
multiple administrators logged in from different locations.
You can access the appropriate screens, but you cannot apply
changes while another administrator is performing the same
operation.
