Hosts

A host is a computer that runs user applications that consume storage on a networked storage
system. There are three types of hosts—Fibre Channel (FC), Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE),
and iSCSI.

FC hosts connect to a fabric through Fibre Channel adapters (FCAs) and access storage directly
through the array controllers.

FCoE hosts connect to the storage system through an iSCSI/FCoE module in the P6000
controller (01 or 02).

iSCSI hosts connect to the storage system through HP iSCSI Connectivity Options or through
an FC-iSCSI module in the P6000 controller (01 or 02).

Working with hosts in HP P6000 Command View

The hosts folder for an HP P6000 EVA storage system displays all hosts that have been explicitly
added to the HP P6000 Command View interface. You can further organize hosts into subfolders
that you create and name. You can also move hosts from one subfolder to another.

(only a portion of the display is shown)

In the various host pages you can view host information and perform actions. For example, you
can view general information, presentations, and ports.
