To begin configuring host access, click the Configure tab and then click either Configure Host Access (Automatic) or Configure Host Access (Manual). See the appropriate section for manual configuration, depending on whether you are using SAS HBA or iSCSI. Automatic Configuration NOTE: The host must be connected (iSCSI or SAS) and the host agent restarted after the connection is made in order to use automatic configuration. To automatically configure a host for access to the storage array: 1 Click the Configure tab and then click Configure Host Access (Automatic). 2 To see hosts that already have access to the storage array, click View configured hosts. 3 Select the hosts you want to give access to the storage array in the Available hosts window. 4 To see the ports and the host type for the selected hosts, click View Details at the right of the list. 5 Click Add to move specific hosts to the Selected hosts window. 6 Click OK to configure access for the hosts you selected. Manual Configuration (using SAS HBA) NOTE: Host access that is manually configured requires special attention to ensure that the correct SAS host port World Wide IDs are selected for each host. If any incorrect IDs are configured, an inaccurate topology will result. You can use the SAS/5/E HBA BIOS Setup program to identify the World Wide IDs for the SAS host ports. Configure the host to make it available to the storage array for logical unit number (LUN) mapping by following these steps. 1 Click the Configure tab and then click Configure Host Access (Manual). 2 Type a name of your choice in the Enter host name text box. This can be an informal name, not necessarily a name used to identify the host to the network. 3 Select the operating system of your host in the Select host type box and then click Next. 44 About Your Host
