NOTE: You can use any combination of alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores for the names. Command names can have a maximum of 30 characters. If you exceed the maximum character limit, replace square brackets ([ ]) with angle brackets (< >) to overcome this limitation. Create Host This command creates a new host. NOTE: A host is a system that is attached to the storage array and accesses the virtual disks on the storage array through its HBA host ports. You can define specific virtual disk-to-logical unit number (LUN) mappings to an individual host or assign the host to a host group that shares access to one or more virtual disks. Syntax create host userLabel="hostName" [hostGroup= "hostGroupName"] Parameters Parameter userLabel hostGroup Description Name to give the host that you are creating. You must put quotation marks (" ") around the host name. Name of the host group in which to create a new host. You must put quotation marks (" ") around the host group name. (If a host group does not exist, you can create a new host group by using the create hostGroup command.) NOTE: A host group is an optional topological element defined to designate a collection of hosts that share access to the same virtual disks. The host group is a logical entity. Define a host group only if you have two or more hosts that share access to the same virtual disks. If you do not specify a host group in which to place the host you are creating, the newly defined host belongs to the default host group. 120 Script Commands
