These panel descriptions apply to all
host panels that are part
of the SAN Volume Controller Console.
Adding ports to a host
Use the Adding Ports to Host panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to
add additional ports to a host. For hosts that
attach to the cluster using fibre channel connections, each port has a worldwide port name (WWPN)
that is associated with it. You can only add WWPNs that are logged
in and that are not configured. For hosts that
attach to the cluster using iSCSI connections, you must add iSCSI
qualified name (IQN) to identify the iSCSI-attached host to the cluster.
Creating hosts
Use the Creating Host panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to
create a new host to attach to the cluster.
Deleting a host
Use the Deleting a Host panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to
remove a host object from a cluster. You can delete host objects if
there are no mappings between the host and its virtual disks (VDisks).
If there are mappings, you must delete the host object using the force option.
Deleting ports from a host
You can delete ports from a host object using the Deleting
Ports from a Host panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console.
Filtering host objects
You
can specify filter criteria from the Filtering Host
Objects panel.
Viewing hosts
Use the Viewing Hosts panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to
display the hosts that belong to this cluster.
Modifying a host
Use the Modifying a Host panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to
change the attributes for a host object.
Forcing the deletion of host to I/O group mappings
Removing the host to I/O group mappings results in the
loss of a virtual disk (VDisk) to host mapping. Select Force Remove
to remove the host to I/O group mapping.
Viewing general details for hosts
Use the Viewing General Details panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to
view information about hosts that are attached to this cluster.
Viewing port details for hosts
Use the Viewing Port Details panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to
display the ports that are assigned to a host.
Viewing mapped I/O groups details for hosts
Use the Viewing Mapped I/O Groups Details panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to
display mapped I/O groups for a selected host object.
Viewing iSCSI details for a host
Use the Viewing iSCSI Details panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to
view details that are related to the selected iSCSI-attached host.
