Adding Hosts to a Host Group

Prerequisites

• A host to be added has not been mapped with a volume. Otherwise, cancel the mapping by referring to Unmapping a Volume.
• A host has not been added to any host group. Each host can be added to only one host group.

Procedure

1. Choose Resources > Access > Host Group.
2. Select a desired account from the Account drop-down list in the upper left corner.
3. Click More on the right of a desired host group and select Add Host.

   The Add Host page is displayed.

4. In the Available Hosts area, select one or more hosts and they are added to the Selected Hosts area on the right automatically.
   

   If hosts to be added into the host group belong to different clusters, data access conflict may occur, resulting in data loss. Before performing this operation, you are advised to install cluster software to manage hosts.

5. Click OK.
6. Confirm your operation as prompted.
