Note:
You must configure a host before you can assign it to a new host access group (see
Remote Host Access Group on page 225

Caution:
If you are connecting the DXi4700 directly to a host without using a Fibre Channel switch,
you must know the WWPN connecting to each DXi4700 port. If you do not specify this information, the
virtual medium changer and tape drives will not display on the device manager.
