TIP:

To register multiple hosts in a batch operation, use the ImportHosts command to import host

batch operation. Hosts that are registered by using the ImportHosts command are managed as

manually registered hosts. For details about the ImportHosts command, see the

Priority for acquiring the WWN

If hosts you want to register include a host that has a WWN that has already been registered, the

host that acquires the WWN is determined based on the product or application that detects it, and

is registered according to the following acquisition priority list.

When hosts are registered by using multiple methods, the WWN acquisition priority, listed from

highest to lowest is:

1. A virtualization server (other than one registered manually).

2. A virtualization server that is registered manually .

3. A host registered by using Device Manager agent.

4. A normal host or a virtual machine registered either manually or by using Host Data Collector.

When hosts with the same WWN are registered by using the same method:

• If a host is registered without using the Device Manager agent, the WWN of the host that was

registered first is retained.

• If a host is registered by using the Device Manager agent, the WWN is registered to the host that

was registered last.
