Adding a Host
QLogic Control Suite CLI allows you to add one or more local or remote hosts for
the management.
Adding a Local Host Using QCS CLI
When you open QCS CLI, it automatically connects to a local host. The local host
is displayed at the top of the QCS CLI window, and the local host is automatically
selected as the current object.
Adding a Remote Host Using QCS CLI
To add a remote host:
1. Open the QLogic Control Suite client.
The connection to the local host is automatically made and selected as the
current object.
2. Issue the following command:
addhost <localhost> | [ <remote host name | remote host IP>
-p <password> ] [-protocol <rpc | local>] [-persist]
Where the -protocol keyword indicates one of the following options:
 rpc: Uses the remote procedure call protocol to connect to QLogic
Control Suite.
 local: Uses the local protocol to connect to QLogic Control Suite on
the local system. The
local option does not require an agent.
3. On the remote host, enter the agent password with administrative privilege.
You can also use a user account with domain administrator privilege. A
password is required to execute write operations such as configuration
changes.
4. (Optional) Include the
-persist keyword to have QCS CLI remember the
entry for this host. If you select this option, you are not required to add the IP
address or host name of the remote host.
