c. In the Host type drop-down menu, select Windows.
Note: Selecting a host type other than Windows will cause imports from the MD3 array to fail.
d. Click Next.
e. Click Finish to create the host.
4.2 Configuring Fibre Channel volume access
In order for the MD3 array to present volumes to the SC Series array, a server host object representing the
SC Series array needs to be created on the MD3 array. The MD3 server host object is mapped to the SC
Series array using the World Wide Names (WWNs) of the Fibre Channel HBAs in the SC Series array. To
obtain the WWNs associated with the SC Series array, perform the following steps:
1. Open the Dell Storage Client and click Log in to a Storage Center or Data Collector.
Note: The Dell Storage Client can connect to a Dell Storage Manager Data Collector or connect directly to SC
Series storage. Both options are supported with the Thin Import process. The instructions in this section focus
only on connecting directly to SC Series storage. Using Thin Import with MD3 volumes requires client version
2016 R3.10 or later.
2. Log in to the Dell Storage Client using administrative credentials.
3. Click the Storage tab and navigate to Fault Domains > Fibre Channel.
4. Expand the Fibre Channel folder and select a fault domain.
