until one is entered).

node, or Host Group node in the object tree to which you want to add the host, and select
Define → Host from the pop-up menu.

4. Select the relevant option in Do you plan to use the storage partitions in this storage array? and
click Next.

5. Select the relevant option to add a host port identifier to the host, you can select:
– Add by selecting a known unassociated host port identifier — In Known unassociated host port
identifier, select the relevant host port identifier.

name and an Alias of up to 30 characters for the host port identifier, and click Add.
