will be more helpful because you can name host bus adapters after the host installation site or the
host owners.
NOTE:
•
A nickname can consist of up to 32 ASCII characters (letters, numerals, and symbols). However,
you cannot use the following characters for nicknames:
\ / : , ; * ? " < > |
•
You cannot use space characters for the first and the last characters in nicknames.
•
Nicknames are case-sensitive. For example,
hp
and
HP
are different nicknames.
To register hosts in a host group in a Fibre Channel environment:
1.
Start LUN Manager and display the LUN Manager window (
Selecting Icon under Fibre Folder)” (page 13)
).
2.
If the desired host has ever been connected via a cable to another port in the storage system,
take the following steps:
a.
Locate the Port list in the upper-right corner of the WWN list. Use this list to select the port
to which the desired host is connected.
b.
Select the desired host bus adapter from the WWN list. Next, select a host group from
the tree and then click Add WWN.
If you are using Windows, you can drag the desired host bus adapter from the WWN
list to the host group in the tree. To drag two or more host bus adapters, see the HP
StorageWorks XP24000/XP20000 Remote Web Console User Guide to learn how to
drag multiple objects.
c.
To assign a nickname to the host bus adapter, enter the nickname in the Name box in
the Add New WWN dialog box (
“Add New WWN Dialog Box (When Registering a
Host that Has Previously been Connected to the Storage System)” (page 39)
), and then
click OK.
If two or more host bus adapters are selected, the Add New WWN dialog boxes (
) appear—one after another to let you assign a nickname
to each of the selected HBAs. If you do not need to assign nicknames to HBAs, you can
select the option The remaining WWNs do not need names and then click OK. If this
option is selected, the Add New WWN dialog box (
Registering a Host that Has Previously been Connected to the Storage System)” (page 39)
will not appear prompting you to assign nicknames.
If the desired host has never been connected via a cable to any port in the storage system,
take the following steps:
a.
In the tree, right-click the host group and then select Add New WWN from the pop-up
menu. The Add New WWN dialog box (
“Add New WWN Dialog Box (When Registering
a Host that Has Never been Connected to the Storage System)” (page 39)
) appears.
You cannot add WWNs to host groups for initiator ports.
b.
Right-click the arrow on the right of the WWN list, and then select the desired host bus
adapter from the list. If the list does not include the desired host bus adapter, enter the
desired WWN in the WWN list.
c.
If necessary, enter a nickname for the host bus adapter.
d.
Click OK to close the Add New WWN dialog box. If a message appears, click OK.
The specified WWN and nickname appear below the selected host group.
