The information presented in the Unassigned paths screen is divided into a list pane and a detail
pane, and is identical to the information displayed in the Paths screen.

Using the Host Manager

If you have installed HP 3PAR Host Explorer, each WWN or iSCSI name is categorized by its
host, and as new hosts are physically connected to the storage system, the system is therefore able
to automatically configure new host paths according to existing host assignments. For more
information, see the HP 3PAR Host Explorer User’s Guide.

You can also use the HP 3PAR Management Console to add new WWNs or iSCSI names for
unestablished host paths and assign them to an existing host or use them to create a new host
before the host systems are physically connected to the storage system. This allows a "plug-and-play"
functionality that avoids the need for manual reconfiguration after establishing new host paths.

For more information on the Host Manager, see the following sections:

“Viewing Host Information” (page 97)

“Managing Hosts” (page 91)

“Managing Host Sets” (page 110)

NOTE:

Domain users can only view information within domains they have access to.

If you are a domain user, you can perform any host task through the Domains node in the
management tree. The information and procedures in the Domains node are identical to those
under the Storage Systems node, except the information is filtered by domain.
