If you create a new host and associate HBAs to it, and then you try to discover a host with the same
HBAs using Host discovery, the HBAs discovered using host discovery must match the HBAs
associated to the host exactly; otherwise, host discovery will fail.
Instructions for mapping a host to HBAs are detailed in Chapter 13, “Host Port Mapping” .

NOTE
For Linux and Solaris systems, you cannot upgrade to driver file version 3.0.3.0. You must upgrade
