Adding HBAs to hosts
Adding an HBA to a host informs VSM that a given HBA is installed on a given host. Adding HBAs
to hosts is supported for UDHs. Adding an HBA to the UDH is the only way to inform VSM that a
given HBA is installed on the host.
VSM enables you to add multiple HBAs to one UDH. This assumes that you have physically installed
more than one HBA on the host that you are defining, and that you are providing multipath support
using multipath software.
You can add HBAs to hosts by right-clicking either the host or the HBAs.
