Adding an ESX server
After you configure zoning, use HP P6000 Command View Software to add an ESX server to the host
group that is available to the local HP P6000 EVA disk array by selecting the Hosts folder under
the managed storage array and selecting Add host within the HP P6000 Command View Software
GUI (see Figure 6). You can assign an alias (host name) to HBA ports (initiator IDs) that can be seen
by the HP P6000/EVA disk array and used for LUN presentation.
For more information on these tasks, see the HP P6000 Command View Software User Guide.
