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.

Registering hosts by using Host Data Collector

machines in a single task.

• Host OS type
• Host IP address (IPv4)
NOTE:
To detect multiple hosts at the same time, specify a subnet or a range of 256 or fewer IP
addresses, or specify individual IP addresses.
• User name and password for logging on to the host (with Administrator or superuser permissions)
