HP XP Array Manager Software - Manual (Page 22)

Prerequisites for changing host information
Before changing host information, note the following:
• Target host IP address (IPv4).
• If registering a virtual server, the IPv6 address also can be specified.
• User name (who must have Administrator or superuser permissions) and password for logging on
the host.
Sudo users do not have to be root users. However, if you specify a user other than a root user,
you must configure the required settings for the environment when information about the host is
collected. Do this by using a general user account. If registering a virtual server, the IPv6 address
also can be specified. For more information on these settings, see the HP P9000 Command View
Advanced Edition Suite Software Administrator Guide.
Changing host information
You can change the information that P9000 Command View AE Suite displays for registered hosts.
To change information about registered hosts:
1. On the Administration tab, select Managed Resources.
2. On the Hosts tab, select the host, or hosts, you want to edit.
3. Click Edit Hosts.
4. Modify the appropriate items and click OK.
5. Check the Data Collection Tasks tab to verify that the task has completed successfully. If the host
name and the WWN are specified when registering a host, no task will be registered.
6. Confirm that the information in the Hosts list is updated.
To change the host group, host mode options, or other settings that have already been specified, use
the
ModifyPort command. For details about how to change them, see the HP P9000 Command
View Advanced Edition Suite Software CLI Reference Guide.
About scanning and discovering hosts
Scanning hosts registers a host whose name is the host group name.
WWNs in the host groups are also automatically registered to the added hosts.
NOTE:
Only WWNs that have not been previously registered for a host in HP P9000 Command View
Advanced Edition Suite products are registered for the created hosts.
Prerequisites for scanning for hosts
Before scanning for hosts, verify the following:
• The name of the host group is the same as the actual host, and the WWN name for that host is
set for LUN security.
• Only a single host can be related to each host group.
