Create Host Dialog

Overview

This function registers a new host.

Caution

If an appropriate host response is not configured to the host, the path may not be switched correctly or the volume may not be recognized correctly.

Refer to "Configuration Guide -Server Connection-" for each OS type to assign an appropriate host response to the host that is to be registered.
In Auto-Discovered Initiator(s), information for all unregistered hosts in the storage system that are being connected to the CA port are displayed.

If unregistered hosts remain connected in the multitenancy environment, information such as IP addresses and WWNs may be leaked to other tenants.

Therefore, make sure to register a host immediately after it is connected to the CA port.

Information

To allow the storage system to obtain host information such as WWN and iSCSI Name, the registration target host and CA port of the storage system must be connected in advance.
To register an iSCSI host, advance login to the iSCSI port of the storage system from the host is required. For more details, refer to "Configuration Guide -Server Connection- iSCSI" for each OS type.
In Easy Administration View, unconnected hosts cannot be registered. To register a host before connecting a host and CA port of the storage system, use Web GUI (Normal View) or CLI.
Easy Administration View supports the registration of FC hosts and iSCSI hosts only. To register SAS hosts, use Web GUI (Normal View) or CLI.
In Easy Administration View, registered hosts cannot be registered in host groups. To configure host affinity using host groups, use Web GUI (Normal View) or CLI.
