show hosts
Description Shows information about all host entries in the storage system.
Host entries are created in two ways:
• Host entries are automatically created for hosts that have been discovered; that is, hosts that have
sent an inquiry command or a report luns command to the system. Hosts typically do this
when they boot up or scan for devices. When the command is received, the system saves the host
port information; however, the information is retained after a restart only if you have set a
nickname for the host.
• Host entries can be manually created, such as for testing purposes.
Syntax

Discovered
• Yes: The host was discovered and its entry was automatically created.

Mapped
Shows whether the host is explicitly mapped to any volumes:
• Yes: At least one volume is explicitly mapped to the host.
• No: No volumes are explicitly mapped to the host.
Profile
• Standard: Default profile.
• HP-UX: The host uses Flat Space Addressing.
Host Type
• If the host was discovered and its entry was automatically created, its host-interface type: FC;
iSCSI; SAS.
• If the host entry was manually created: Undefined.
