HP 3PAR OpenVMS Implementation Guide (763874-002)

Creating hosts using CLI
Before connecting the OpenVMS host to the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system, create a host
definition that specifies a valid host persona for each HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system that must
be connected to a host HBA port through a fabric connection.
• To create host definitions, run the createhost [options] <hostname> [<WWN>]
command.
# createhost -persona 12 soup_778A 50060B0000FD778A
• To verify that the host is created, run the showhost command.
# showhost soup_778A

NOTE: For information on using the controlport, createhost, and showhost commands, see the
HP 3PAR OS Command Line Interface Reference or the HP 3PAR Management Console Help.
