The EMC ControlCenter Navisphere Host Agent should be used to
automatically register host connections with the array. PowerPath
and ATF require different registration types and the Navisphere Host
Agent is the preferred method over manual registrations.

HBA connections are all registered correctly. For instructions on how
to perform this operation refer to the EMC ControlCenter Navisphere
Host Agent software documentation for your array type.
After the host agent has started and registered the new HBA paths,
you should refresh the host connections in the storage group to
ensure all available paths are assigned. To do this, you have two
options, depending on whether you want to disrupt the connectivity

-connecthost -host < hostname> -gname
<storagegroupname>
where <sp_IP> is the IP address of either array SP; <hostname>
is the hostname of the host connection to update; and
<storagegroupname> is the name of the storage group of the
host connection to update.
7. When prompted, verify the <hostname> and
<storagegroupname> are correct as follows:
