"Defining Host" on page 283, only different settings have to be done in Specify Host Port
Identifier window as shown in Figure 13-17 on page 335:
1. Choose ISCSI as host interface type, and if you choose Known unassociated host port
identifier selection box, you can find your iSCSI Initiator IQN name in the corresponding
pull down selection menu.
2. Continue with entering an User Label (Alias), and select Add to add this iSCSI Initiator as
a host port to your newly defined host. For iSCSI software initiator you add only one IQN
name per host.
