Removing Host Paths

InForm OS Version 2.3.1 3PAR InForm CLI Administrator’s Manual

◆ <dest_node:slot:port> is the destination port location.

2 Remove the host definition(s) from the old port or ports.

Removing the host definitions does not remove the old host paths. To remove the host

paths, see 6.9 Removing Host Paths on page 6.13. To remove host definitions and all VLUNs

associated with the old host port, issue the

servicehost remove [<node:slot:port> [<WWN_or_iSCSI_name> ... ]]

command, where:

◆ <node:slot:port> is the old port location.

◆ <WWN> is the WWN path or paths to the host to be removed.

◆ <iscsi_name> is the iSCSI path or paths to the host to be removed.

3 Disconnect the host from the storage server and then reconnect it to the new port.

The storage server discovers the host on the new port automatically by matching the

WWNs or iSCSI Names of the inactive host you created in step 1 to the WWNs or iSCSI

Names of the host. The InForm OS automatically changes the state of the host from inactive

to active. The host has immediate access to all volumes exported to the host.

6.9 Removing Host Paths

Host paths can be removed from the InServ Storage Server before or after VLUNs are exported

to the hosts. The

removehost command removes a storage server host path to an FC or iSCSI

host. If one or more paths are specified the command removes only the specified paths,

otherwise the entire host definition is removed. If VLUNs have been exported to the host, issue

the

removehost -rvl <host_name> command. For information about exporting VLUNs,

see 7.19 Unexporting Virtual Volumes on page 7.23. The

removehost CLI command is

described in detail in the InForm OS Command Line Interface Reference and the CLI Help

Pages.

 To completely remove a host definition from your system, issue the

removehost <host_name> [<WWN>... | <iscsi_name> ...] command, where:

◆ <host_name> is the host definition to be removed.

◆ <WWN>... is the WWN path or paths to the host to be removed.

◆ <iscsi_name>... is the iSCSI path or paths to the host to be removed.
