hosts to make their names more “user friendly” for when you add them
to access groups. You may wish to delete hosts that are not connected
to the SAN. Using the host configuration option, you can do the
following:
•
— You can add hosts that are not currently connected
to the SAN (i.e., “prep” your library for a future host). These are
hosts that you plan to add to the SAN later, but want to pre-
configure in host access groups now. If you don’t eventually add the
hosts to the SAN, they will not be able to access the drives/partitions
you choose. In most cases, you will not need to create hosts in this
way.
•
— You can modify the name, type, port, or WWPN of a
visible host. Unmodified hosts that are connected to the drive(s)
have no predefined name and are named “Unknown” by default.
You may wish to change the name to a more “user friendly” name
to distinguish one host from another.
•
— You can delete hosts that are no longer connected to
the SAN. You can only delete hosts whose state is offline (i.e., not
connected to the SAN). Any time you delete a host you remove all
host mappings configured for that host.
