export initiator-port register-host
[-p|--ports] port,port...
[-f|--file] file
[-c|--cluster] cluster-context
Arguments
Required arguments
[-f|--file] file * The host declaration file path name.
Optional arguments
[-c|--cluster] cluster-context * The cluster at which to create the view.
[-p|--ports] port,port... List of port names. If omitted, all ports at the cluster will be used. Entries must be

* - argument is positional.
Description
Reads host port WWNs (with optional node WWNs) and names from a host declaration file. Creates a view, registering each
port WWN /name pair as an initiator port in that view.
The host description file contains one line for each port on the host in the following format:
port WWN [|node WWN] port-name
Hosts must be registered in order to be exported (added to a storage view). Registering consists of naming the initiator and
listing its ports WWN/GUID.
Each port of a server’s HBA/HCA must be registered as a separate initiator.
