9-3-1 Adding Hosts by Executing a LUN Scan
When you execute a LUN scan operation on a storage subsystem, Device Manager detects the WWNs and
automatically registers a temporary host per WWN. The names of the temporary hosts are host_serial-number
(such as host_1) except for the WWNs in a WWN group.
For the WWNs in a StorageWorks XP512/XP48 WWN group, Device Manager uses a naming convention that
indicates the WWN group name: WWN-group-name_serial-number. For example, the WWNs in the WWN
group called Finance would be named Finance_1, Finance_2, Finance_3. For details on the LUN scan
operation, see section
8-3
.
If the Device Manager agent is installed on a host, and the HiScan command is executed on that host, the
Device Manager agent sends detailed information about the host to the Device Manager server, and the
Device Manager server registers the new host according to the information received from the Device Manager
agent. If the new host contains a WWN that was detected during a LUN scan, Device Manager moves the
WWN from the temporary host created during the LUN scan (such as host_1 or Finance_1) to the new
registered host. After the WWN has moved, the temporary host becomes empty and should be removed. For
details on removing a host, see section
9-8
.
You can rename the hosts created during LUN scan to more easily identify them, combine WWNs that are on a
single physical host, and remove the extraneous hosts as needed.
9-3-2 Adding Hosts Manually
The system administrator, local system administrator, storage administrator, and local storage administrator
can add hosts to Device Manager. Guest and local guest users cannot add hosts.
When manually adding a host, identify the host name and its associated WWNs to Device Manager. You can
use this information to secure LUNs using the WWNs of this host.
NOTE:
You cannot add multiple hosts at the same time. Add each host individually.
To add a host to Device Manager:
1.
Log in to Device Manager as a system administrator, storage administrator, local system administrator, or
local storage administrator.
2.
Select Hosts in the navigation frame and Add Host in the method frame (see
Figure 9-1
).
The Add Host panel displays, as shown in
Figure 9-2
