Registering hosts
This module describes how to register hosts.
About registering a host
You can register hosts to be managed by Device Manager so that the volumes of the storage system
can be used in the host (application).
You can consolidate LUN paths between storage systems and hosts, or find out the usage status of
storage resources from the hosts' point of view (such as outputting reports for charging each server
that meets its actual capacity).
The following hosts can be registered for Command View AE Suite:
• Normal hosts (An open host that is not virtualized.)
