armhost
Description
The armhost command is used to manage the array’s host port behavior
table. This table maps each host to an associated operating system-dependent
communication protocol or behavior. Each operating system communicates
differently with the array, so the array must be aware of what operating system
each host is running. The host port behavior table is the mechanism by which
the array identifies the host operating system.
Note On the VA 7100 and VA 7400, the maximum number of host
port behavior table entries is 32. On the VA 7410/7110, the
maximum number of table entries is 113.
Syntax
armhost {-r -f <filename>} <array-id>
armhost {-w [-c] -f <filename>} <array-id>
armhost {-d <WWN>} <array-id>
armhost {-c} <array-id>
armhost {-t [-h <hostList>] [-f <filename>]} <array-id>
armhost {-cp -ws <WWN> -wd <WWNList>} <array-id>
armhost -?
Options
-c Clears the entries in the array’s host port behavior table. This option may
be used alone or in combination with the -w option to clear the table
prior to a write.
-cp Copies behavior from one WWN to one or more other WWNs.
-d <nodeWWN > Deletes all entries in the array’s host port behavior table for the host
specified by <nodeWWN>. This is useful when a host is no longer
accessing the array.
