b. In the WWN list, select the host bus adapter. If the list does not include the host bus adapter, enter

the WWN in the WWN box.

c. If necessary, enter a nickname for the host bus adapter.

d. Click OK. If a message appears, click OK. The specified WWN and nickname appear below the

selected host group.

3. Click Apply. A confirmation message appears.

4. Click OK. Settings are applied to the array, and the specified host is registered in the host group.

NOTE: If the WWN name table (located in the lower-left corner of the pane) includes the host you want

to register, you can register the host by dragging the host from the WWN name table to the host group in

the tree.

Registering hosts in iSCSI targets (when configuring iSCSI environments)

When registering a host, you must specify the host bus adapter’s iSCSI name.

When registering a host, you can assign a nickname for the host bus adapter. If you assign a nickname,

you can easily identify each host bus adapter in the LUN Manager pane. Although iSCSI names are also

used to identify each host bus adapter, the nickname you assign is more helpful because you can name

host bus adapters after the host installation site or host owners.

NOTE:

• A nickname can consist of up to 32 ASCII characters (letters, numerals, and symbols). However, you

cannot use the following characters for nicknames:

\/:,;*?"<>|

• You cannot use spaces for the first and last characters in nicknames.

• Nicknames are case-sensitive. For example, hp and HP are different nicknames.

1. Start LUN Manager. The LUN Manager pane (Figure 15) appears.

2. If the host was previously connected via a cable to another port in the array, take the following steps:

a. In the iSCSI name table, select the port to which the host is connected from the Port list.
