syscli --list host
This CLI command allows the CLI admin to display a list of available hosts. The
WWPN, its alias (if it was added by the user) and connection status are returned
for each host. If the host alias was not added initially, the output will indicate
that no alias was given.
An example output of a host with no alias given is shown below.
List of available hosts:
Total count = 1
[host = 1]
wwpn = 220100e08ba8338d
alias = null
connection status = active
syscli --add host -wwpn <host_world_wide_port_name> --alias
<host_alias>
This CLI command allows the CLI admin to add a host to the available host list.
The required parameters are the host's world wide port name (WWPN) and alias.
If the host already exists from the list of available hosts, adding the same host
will return an error.
syscli --edit host --wwpn <host_world_wide_port_name> --alias
<host_alias>
This CLI command allows the CLI admin to add or change the host alias of a
host. The required parameter are the existing host's world wide port name
(WWPN) and alias.
syscli --del host --wwpn <host_world_wide_port_name>
This CLI command allows the CLI admin to delete an existing host from available
host list. The required parameter is the host's WWPN. The host must be inactive
to delete it.
