Configuration Guide
3–25
To Add a new Host to a SAN - A new host is added to the fabric that needs
connectivity to the HSG80. Attempts to login are rejected because the connection
table is locked. The system administrator is called, and manually adds an entry for
the new host by creating a new connection from the rejected host.
To Delete a Host - While the connection table is locked, delete the connection for
the selected host. When the host realizes that it cannot talk to the HSG80
anymore, it may try to login again, but those attempts will be rejected since the
connection table is locked.
Too Many Hosts? - If more than 96 connections are present, all host logins will be
rejected, regardless of the state of the lock.
Selective Management Presentation
Selective Management Presentation is a control method that extends the use of the
Selective Storage Presentation concept currently available on logical units (LUNs).
You can use this mechanism to send control commands to the HSG80 controller (see
“What is Selective Storage Presentation?,” page 1–21).
The new access mechanism provides control over which, SAN Management Agent
systems can perform management operations.
In order to define the set of Management Agent host systems that can access the
HSG80 management functions, new CLI commands are defined. These commands
allow the user to selectively enable or disable host access to the control mechanism.
These new commands provide for the addition and removal of Management Agent
Host systems, and the ability to display the currently enabled systems.
Removing Management Agent Host systems
The following command disables access to the management functions. The user can
specify all systems or a list of systems.
HSG80> SET DISABLE_MANAGERS=ALL
HSG80> SET DISABLE_MANAGERS=(host list…)
Adding Management Agent Host systems
The following command enables access to the management functions. The user can
specify all systems, or a list of systems.
HSG80> SET ENABLE_MANAGERS=ALL
- or -
HS80> SET ENABLE_MANAGERS=(host list…)
