Adding a New Host to the Management
Configuration
When adding a new host to your system, you will need to take the necessary
steps to ensure the host can access the array. There are two steps to perform:
1 If the host does not use the default controller host port behavior, the host
will have to be added to the host port behavior table. See "Creating the
Host Port Behavior Table" on page 135 for information on performing this
task.
2 If LUN security is being used, the host will have to be granted access to the
desired LUNs on the array. This is done by updating the LUN security table
on the array. For information on managing LUN security, refer to the HP
StorageWorks Secure Manager User Guide included with the Secure
Manager Software Media Kit (T1003A).
Renaming a Host
If it becomes necessary to rename a host, the original host name must be
removed from the host device database maintained by Command View. This is
necessary to avoid the same arrays being displayed on the new host name
and also on the old host name.
1 Run the following command to remove database entries for the existing host
name:
armdiscover [managementhost] [-h hostname] -delete
Replace hostname with the current hostname. See "armdiscover" on
page 110 for more information on using this command.
Note If the host has been renamed and added to the database before
removing the original host name, the above command can also
be used to remove the original host name entries. If this does not
produce the desired results, it will be necessary to delete and
rebuild the database as described in the following section.
