Setting Up Connections
You can connect to and configure local and remote systems. This section discusses:

7.1
Connecting to Hosts
The SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager GUI tries to ensure that a host is not loaded
more than once into the HBA tree. If a host has multiple interfaces (for example,
more than one NIC is installed), the SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager GUI will not
load the host more than once in the HBA tree if the host IP address is registered
with the DNS server or local host file.
NOTE: To ensure that a host does not display more than once in the HBA tree,
register each host’s IP address with the DNS server or the local host file.
This section discusses:
■ Connecting to hosts manually (see section 7.1.1)
■ Connecting to hosts using a host group file (see section 7.1.2)
■ Disconnecting from hosts (see section 7.1.3)
