Rediscovering an initiator
About this task
When initiators are connected directly or through a Fibre Channel fabric, metro node automatically discovers them and
populates the Initiators view.
Steps
1. From the GUI main menu, do one of the following:
a. In a metro node Local:
i. Select Provision Storage.
ii. In the View by drop-down, select Initiators.
b. In a metro node Metro:
i. Select Provision Storage.
ii. In the Provision on drop-down, select the cluster of the port.
iii. In the View by drop-down, select Initiators.
2. In the Initiators view, select MORE > Rediscover Initiators.
3. Click OK to continue rediscovering initiators. This process might take some time.
4. Do one of the following:
● If the rediscovery completes with no errors, a green check mark displays in the Result column. Click Close.
● If an error occurs, a warning symbol displays in the Result column. Click Close and retry the rediscovery.
Manually registering an initiator
About this task
Metro node automatically discovers all connected initiators and populates the Initiators view. If, for some reason metro node
did not discover the initiator, you must manually register the initiator. Make sure that you specify the correct host type in
the Host Type column as this attribute cannot be changed once the registration is complete. To change the host type after
registration, you must use the CLI to unregister the initiator, and then register it again using the correct host type. Supported
host types lists the host types supported with metro node.
NOTE: You must register each port of a host's HBA/HCA as a separate initiator.
Steps
1. From the GUI main menu, do one of the following:
a. In a metro node Local:
i. Select Provision Storage.
ii. In the View by drop-down, select Ports.
b. In a metro node Metro:
i. Select Provision Storage.
ii. In the Provision on drop-down, select the cluster of the port.
iii. In the View by drop-down, select Ports.
2. In the Initiators view, click Register Initiator Manually.
The Register Initiators Manually dialog box is displayed, type a meaningful name for the initiator.
3. Select the host type.
4. Type the Port WWN.
Ensure that you type a valid Port WWN. You can cut and paste into this field to avoid errors.
5. Type the Node WWN.
6. Click OK.
A message displays to indicate the result of the operation.
