Adding ports to a host

You can add ports to a host from the Adding Ports panel.

This task assumes that you have already launched the SAN Volume Controller Console.

Complete the following steps to add ports to a host:
  1. Click Work with Hosts > Hosts in the portfolio. The Viewing Hosts panel is displayed.
  2. Select the host that you want to add ports to and select Add Ports from the task list. Click Go. The Adding Ports panel is displayed.
  3. Select either Fibre Channel or iSCSI for the connection type.

    If you select Fibre Channel as the connection type, complete the following steps:

    1. Assign a worldwide port name (WWPN). A WWPN consists of 16 hexadecimal digits (for example, 210100e08b251dd4). You can either select a WWPN from the list of candidates, or you can enter a WWPN that is not in the list. You can assign one or more WWPNs to a single logical host object. Click Add to include the WWPN in the list of Selected Ports.

    If you select iSCSI as the connection type, complete the following steps:

    1. In the iSCSI Names field, enter the IQN name or EUI name for the iSCSI-attached host.
  4. Click OK.
