Create Host This command creates a new host.If you do not specify a host group in which to create the new host, the new host is created in the default group. Syntax create host userLabel="hostName" [hostGroup=("hostGroupName" | defaultGroup)] [hostType=(hostTypeIndexLabel | hostTypeIndexNumber)] Parameters Parameter userLabel Description The name that you want to give the host that you are creating. Enclose the host name in double quotation marks (" "). hostGroup The name of the host group in which you want to create a new host. Enclose the host group name in double quotation marks (" "). (If a host group does not exist, you can create a new host group by using the create hostGroup command.) The defaultGroup option is the host group that contains the host to which the virtual disk is mapped. hostType The index label or the index number that identifies the host type. Use the show storageArray hostTypeTable command to generate a list of available host type identifiers. If the host type has special characters, enclose the host type in double quotation marks (" "). 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 Group This command creates a new host group. Syntax create hostGroup userLabel="hostGroupName" Parameter Parameter Description userLabel Name to give the host group that you are creating. You must put quotation marks (" ") around the host group name. Create Host Port This command creates a new HBA host port identification. The identification is a software value that represents the physical HBA host port to the RAID controller module. Without the host port identification, the RAID controller module cannot receive instructions or data from the host port. Syntax create hostPort identifier="wwid" userLabel="portLabel" 111
