The name of a host group should be the same as the actual host, and the WWN for that host is
set for LUN security.

Only a single host can be related to each host group.

Prerequisites

Install LUN Manager or LUN Management on the target storage system.

1.

On the Administration tab, select Managed Resources.

2.

On the Hosts tab, click Host Scan.

3.

Confirm that your environment meets the recommended conditions, and then select storage systems
on which to scan for hosts.

4.

Click Submit.

All registered Data Collection Tasks hosts, virtual machines, and virtualization servers can be viewed
by host OS type (for example: AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, Windows, Virtualization Servers, or Others)
in the Resources list on the Navigation pane.

TIP:

If one host has multiple WWNs detected, even if it is one host in the actual environment, it might
occasionally be registered as multiple hosts by Device Manager. This is because hosts are generated
in host groups when one host has multiple WWNs . In this case, the hosts must be merged, meaning
merge the WWNs. Merge the hosts that have been added as multiple hosts in Device Manager into
one host, meaning that WWN information is merged, and the source hosts are deleted automatically.

Registering hosts using merge hosts

You can use merge hosts to combine source and target host information into a single surviving target
host that is registered. The maximum number of WWNs that you can merge at one time is 100.

Prerequisites

Identify the names of the source and target host. Note that the source host is merged into the target
host, then the source host is deleted.

Ensure the source host has been registered either manually or by host scan.

Ensure the target host is not a mainframe host, or a virtualization server (except for manually re-
gistered virtualization servers).

Ensure the target host has at least one registered WWN.

1.

On the Administration tab, select Managed Resources.

2.

Select the Hosts tab, select the target host row, click More Actions and select Merge Hosts.

3.

In the merge hosts window, select the source host, then click Show Plan.
