To add a host:
1 Click Discover Hosts to list all hosts that are know to the DXi8500
in the table.
A host is made known to the DXi8500 if you enter the host ID on
this page, or if the host logs on to one or more Fibre Channel target
ports.
If you do not see the world wide name (WWN) of the host, make
sure the host is connected to a Fibre Channel port on the DXi8500
and click Discover Hosts again.
The Backpanel Locations section displays a graphical
representation of the Fibre Channel and Ethernet ports as they
appear on the rear of the system.
Note: A mapped (green) status indicates the host is currently
logged on to one or more Fibre Channel target ports.
