HP 3PAR Host Explorer User Guide When a host is created on the storage system, unassigned WWNs or iSCSI names are presented to the storage system. Without the Host Explorer running on the attached hosts, the storage system is unable to determine which host the WWN or iSCSI names belongs to and you must manually assign each WWN or iSCSI name to a host. With Host Explorer running, the storage system automatically groups WWNs or iSCSI names for the host together, assisting with creating the host. The Host Explorer collects the following information and sends it to the storage system: ■ Host operating system and version. ■ Fibre Channel and iSCSI HBA details. ■ Multipath driver and current multipath configuration. ■ Cluster configuration information. ■ Device and path Information. See Chapter 2, Installation and Deinstallation to install the HP 3PAR Host Explorer. Refer to the HP 3PAR OS Configuration Matrix for a list of supported host operating systems. 1.2 Related Documentation The following documents also provide information related to HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems and the HP 3PAR OS: For information about...
