HP 3PAR OS 3.1.3 CLI Administrator's Manual

Hosts and Virtual Domains
NOTE: Virtual domains requires the use of the HP 3PAR Virtual Domain Software license. Contact
your local HP representative for details.
If you are using virtual domains, you can create and modify domain-specific FC or iSCSI hosts. In
many instances, you follow the same process for creating and modifying hosts as you would for
hosts that do not use domains.
Creating a Domain-Specific Host
In order to create a domain-specific host, you must have Super or Edit rights in the all domain.
For details about this restriction, see the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage Concepts Guide and the
createhost command in the HP 3PAR Command Line Interface Reference.
To create a domain-specific host, issue the createhost command as described in createhost
“Creating a Host with a Fiber Channel Path” (page 73) and “Creating a Host with an iSCSI
Path” (page 73) with the -domain <domain_name>|set:<set_name> option to specify the
domain or domain set in which you are creating the host.
Modifying a Domain-Specific Host
Perform modifications to domain-specific hosts using the createhost and sethost commands,
as discussed in “Modifying Hosts” (page 74).
Any existing domain-specific host can be modified as follows:
• By changing the host’s name. See “Changing a Host Name” (page 74) for instructions. You
must have Super or Edit rights in the all domain, or Edit rights in a specified domain, to
perform this operation. See the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage Concepts Guide for details about
domain restrictions.
• By adding or removing WWNs or iSCSI names. This operation is restricted to users with Super
or Edit rights in the all domain. For details about domain restrictions, see the HP 3PAR
StoreServ Storage Concepts Guide. See the following sections for instructions:
◦ “Adding Fiber Channel Path WWNs” (page 74).
◦ “Adding iSCSI Path iSCSI Names” (page 74).
◦ “Removing Fibre Channel Path WWNs” (page 74).
◦ “Removing iSCSI Path iSCSI Names” (page 75).
• By adding or removing iSCSI CHAP authentication information. This operation is restricted to
users with Super or Edit rights in the all domain (see the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage Concepts
Guide for details about this restriction). See the following for instructions:
◦ “Configuring iSCSI CHAP Authentication Information” (page 75)
◦ “Removing iSCSI CHAP Authentication Information” (page 75)
Changing a Host Domain
This operation is restricted to users with Super or Edit rights in the all domain. For details about
domain restrictions, see the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage Concepts Guide.
For information about changing a host’s domain association, see “Managing Domain Objects”
(page 66).
