After SFM is enabled, you may want to add a Host (or Initiator) to the SAN configuration or remove it from
the SAN configuration. This section describes how to add and remove hosts.
Adding a Host to the SAN Configuration
You can connect a new host to the SAN at any time. SFM automatically adds the new host to the database
as soon as the host is attached to the SAN. If you want to attach a new host at this time, see
Attaching a
New Host to the SAN
. Otherwise, if you want to configure SFM before attaching the host, see
Adding a Host
Before Attaching it to the SAN
.
Attaching a New Host to the SAN
When you attach a new host to the SAN, SFM automatically detects the host and adds it to the SFM
database. When you connect or refresh the SNC from the ADIC Management Console, you can see the
new host in the SFM Access Settings window. If the Host Registration Service is running on the host, SFM
automatically obtains the host parameters. If the Host Registration Service is not running on the host, SFM
only knows the WWN of the HBA. In this case, you can manually enter the other host parameters.
Follow these steps to add a new host to the SAN configuration:
1
Connect the host to the SAN.
2
If you need to install the Host Registration Service, see
Installing the Host Registration Service
on page
20.
3
If you need to determine LUN assignments for the devices you want to assign to the new host, see the
ADIC Management Console User’s Guide
.
4
For further information about entering host parameters, see the
ADIC Management Console User’s
Guide
.
5
Refer to the see the
ADIC Management Console User’s Guide
to assign access permissions for the new
host.
6
Verify that the new host has access to the assigned devices.
7
Save your configuration, as explained in
Saving a Configuration File
on page 17.
Adding a Host Before Attaching it to the SAN
You can add a host that has not yet been attached to the SAN and configure its access permissions
beforehand. For more information, see the “Add VPS/SFM Hosts” section of the
ADIC Management
Console User’s Guide
.
After the new host has been added you can assign its access permissions.
Removing a Host from the SAN Configuration
You may want to remove a host from the SFM database. SFM will prevent you from removing a host that is
online. For more information, see the “Deleting VPS/SFM Hosts” section of the
ADIC Management Console
User’s Guide.
Note
You have to refresh the SNC from the ADIC Management Console to see host
status changes.
