To register multiple hosts in a batch operation, use the ImportHosts command to import host
information such as host name and WWNs from a CSV file, and then register multiple hosts in a
batch operation. Hosts that are registered by using the
ImportHosts command are managed as
manually registered hosts. For details about the
ImportHosts
command, see the HP XP7 Command

Priority for acquiring the WWN
If hosts you want to register include a host that has a WWN that has already been registered, the
host that acquires the WWN is determined based on the product or application that detects it, and
is registered according to the following acquisition priority list.
When hosts are registered by using multiple methods, the WWN acquisition priority, listed from
highest to lowest is:
1. A virtualization server (other than one registered manually).
2. A virtualization server that is registered manually .
3. A host registered by using Device Manager agent.
4. A normal host or a virtual machine registered either manually or by using Host Data Collector.
When hosts with the same WWN are registered by using the same method:
• If a host is registered without using the Device Manager agent, the WWN of the host that was
registered first is retained.
• If a host is registered by using the Device Manager agent, the WWN is registered to the host that
was registered last.
