Adding a Host
Before a host can use the storage system's virtual disks, the host must be known to
the storage system. This process is called “adding a host.” Adding a host creates a
path from the storage system to one host FCA port. Additional host FCA ports can
be specified as a modification to the host properties.
Deleting a Host
Deleting a host removes it from the list of hosts that the storage system maintains.
You cannot delete a host if there are any virtual disks presented to it.
Modifying a Host
The following actions are available on the Host Properties page General tab:
■ Change the node name
■ Change the IP address
■ Change the operating system type
■ Move the host from its current folder to a different one
■ Enable or disable direct eventing
■ Delete a host
Note: The only changes that you can perform on an existing host are shown above. To
specify any other property characteristics, you must delete the host, then add it again.
Using the Presentation Tab
Selecting the Presentation tab generates a display showing the Vdisks that have
been presented to the selected host.
Working with Ports
The options available from the Host Properties page Ports tab let you add or
delete adapter ports. To add a port:
1. Click Add Port on the Ports tab.
2. Select a World Wide Name from the drop-down list on the Add a Host Port
page or enter the host port WWID manually.
3. Click Add Port.
