3. If the desired host has never been connected via a cable to any port in the array, take the following

the array)
. b. In the WWN list, select the host bus adapter. If the list does not include the host bus adapter,
enter the WWN in the WWN box.
c. If necessary, enter a nickname for the host bus adapter.
d. Click OK. If a message appears, click OK. The specified WWN and nickname appear
below the selected host group.
4. Click Apply. A confirmation message appears.
5. Click OK. Settings are applied to the array, and the specified host is registered in the host group.
NOTE:
If the WWN name table (located in the lower-left corner of the pane) includes the host you want to
register, you can register the host by dragging the host from the WWN name table to the host group
in the tree.
Registering hosts in iSCSI targets (when configuring iSCSI environments)
When registering a host, you must specify the host bus adapter's iSCSI name.
When registering a host, you can assign a nickname for the host bus adapter. If you assign a nickname,
you can easily identify each host bus adapter in the XP LUN Configuration and Security Manager
Software pane. Although iSCSI names are also used to identify each host bus adapter, the nickname
you assign is more helpful because you can name host bus adapters after the host installation site or
host owners.
