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

6.13 Hosts and Virtual Domains

If you are using 3PAR Virtual Domains, you can create and modify domain-specific Fiber

Channel or iSCSI hosts. In many instances, you follow the same process for creating and

modifying hosts just as you would for hosts that do not use domains.

6.13.1 Creating a Domain-Specific Host

In order to create a domain-specific host, you must be a super or edit level user in the all

domain. Refer to the InForm OS Concepts Guide and the

createhost command in the InForm

OS Command Line Interface Reference for details about this restriction.

 To create a domain-specific host, issue the createhost command as described in 6.6.1

Creating a Host with a Fiber Channel Path and 6.6.2 Creating a Host with an iSCSI Path with

the

-domain <domain_name> | set:<set_name> option to specify the domain or

domain set in which you are creating the host.

6.13.2 Modifying a Domain-Specific Host

Perform modifications to domain-specific hosts using the createhost and sethost

commands as previously discussed in 6.7 Modifying Hosts on page 6.9.

Any existing domain-specific host can be modified as follows:

■ By changing the host’s name. See 6.7.1 Changing a Host Name on page 6.10 for

instructions. You must be a super or edit level user in the

all domain or an edit level user

in a

specified domain in order to perform this operation (refer to the InForm OS

Concepts Guide for details about this restriction).

■ By adding or removing WWNs or iSCSI names. This operation is restricted to super or edit

level user in the

all domain (refer to the InForm OS Concepts Guide for details about this

restriction). See the following for instructions:

◆ 6.7.2 Adding Fiber Channel Path WWNs on page 6.10.

◆ 6.7.3 Adding iSCSI Path iSCSI Names on page 6.10.

NOTE: 3PAR Virtual Domains requires the use of the 3PAR Virtual Domain license.
