The Host information can now be entered in the left-hand column labeled New
Host Data. The Original Host Data column displays the values before any
changes are made. Once completed, select Apply Changes and then Close.
This window can also be used to enter in host information for a host that has not
yet connected to the SAN Data Gateway. Select New Host and then enter in the
WWN and other parameters that are available. You
must, at minimum, enter in a
WWN. Also, when entering in the number, a colon ‘:’
must be used to separate
the first four bytes from the last four bytes.
Also, you will notice that the host description in the top can change color. If the
information is in blue, then the host is offline. If the host information is in black,
then it is online.
The VPS feature allows an administrator to quickly view the host information and
status at a central location.
