Notes:
1.
When copy pairs are managed by a host where Device Manager agent is installed, you need to restart
the Device Manager agent service after changing the host name. After the Device Manager agent service
is restarted, the new host name is applied by updating the storage system.
2.
WWNs and their port types that have been added can be affected by the Refresh Hosts button, but deleted
WWNs and their port types cannot be affected. To delete such WWNs, the Edit Hosts button needs to
be used.
3.
If you want to allocate volumes to a FCoE port, you need to manually add a WWN.
4.
To update WWN nicknames that have been specified by using other storage system management tools,
such as Remote Web Console, refresh the storage system information. When several WWN nicknames
are assigned to a single HBA, only one of the nicknames is displayed for that HBA.
1.
From the Administration tab, select Managed Resources.
2.
On the Hosts tab, select the host to update, then click either Refresh Hosts or Edit Hosts depending
on the items that you want to update.
3.
Modify the settings and click OK.
The task is registered to Data Collection Tasks tab. If you changed settings in the Edit Hosts dialog
box, after the task successfully completes, refresh the hosts using Refresh Hosts.
The host list is updated.
NOTE:
After you change a host name, both host names (before and after the change) might display on the
Resources tab. In this case, delete the host before making the change. When copy pairs are managed
by the host where Device Manager agent is installed, in addition to deleting the host, the storage
system also needs to be updated.

About removing hosts and releasing associated resources
When hosts no longer need to be managed, for example due to a reorganization, you can remove
the registered hosts and exclude them from XP7 Command View AE management. Related storage
resources, such as volumes allocated to the target host and path setting information, can also be
removed. Only storage resources allocated to the removed host can be released.
When removing storage resources, you can select to:
•
Unallocate volumes
•
Delete associated host groups
•
Release LUSE volumes
•
Delete virtual LDEV ID. This applies when managing resources that have virtual IDs set.
•
Delete associated volumes
