Viewing hosts
The Hosts topic shows a tabular view of information about initiators, hosts, and host groups that are defined in the system. For more
information about hosts, see About initiators, hosts, and host groups. The Hosts topic also enables users to map initiators and view map
details.

The hosts table shows the following information:
NOTE: The table shows 10 entries at a time by default.
• Group. Shows the group name if the initiator is grouped into a host group; otherwise, --.
