Create Host Group - IBM System Storage DS3000 Programming Manual

Syntax
create host userLabel="hostName"
[hostGroup=("hostGroupName" | defaultGroup)]
[hostType=(hostTypeIndexLabel | hostTypeIndexNumber)]
Parameters
Parameter Description
The name that you want to give the host that you are creating.
userLabel
Enclose the host name in double quotation marks (" ").
The name of the host group in which you want to create a new
hostGroup
host. Enclose the host group name in double quotation marks
(" "). (If a host group does not exist, you can create a new host
group by using the create hostGroup command.) The
defaultGroup option is the host group that contains the host to
which the logical drive is mapped.
The index label or the index number that identifies the host type.
hostType
Use the show storageSubsystem hostTypeTable command to
generate a list of available host type identifiers. If the host type
has special characters, enclose the host type in double quotation
marks (" ").
Notes
You can use any combination of alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores for the names.
Names can have a maximum of 30 characters.
A host is a computer that is attached to the storage subsystem and accesses the logical drives on the
storage subsystem through its HBA host ports. You can define specific logical drive-to-LUN mappings to
an individual host. You also can assign the host to a host group that shares access to one or more logical
drives.
A host group is an optional topological element that you can define if you want to designate a collection
of hosts that share access to the same logical drives. The host group is a logical entity. Define a host
group only if you have two or more hosts that share access to the same logical drives.
If you do not specify a host group in which to place the host that you are creating, the newly defined
host belongs to the default host group.
