Using The Mappings Tab; Defining A Host - Dell POWERVAULT MD3600F Owner's Manual

The host topology is reconfigurable. You can perform the following tasks:
• Create a host and assign an alias or user label.
• Add or associate a new host port identifier to a particular host.
• Change the host port identifier alias or user label.
• Move or associate a host port identifier to a different host.
• Replace a host port identifier with a new host port identifier.
• Manually activate an inactive host port so that the port can gain access to
host specific or host group specific LUN mappings.
• Change the host port type to another type.
• Move a host from one host group to another host group.
• Remove a host group, a host, or a host port identifier.
• Rename a host group or a host.

Using the Mappings Tab

In the Mappings tab, you can:
• Define hosts and hosts groups

Defining a Host

You can use the Define Host Wizard in the AMW to define a host for a
storage array. Either a known unassociated host port identifier or a new host
port identifier can be added.
NOTE:
A user label must be specified before the host port identifier may be added
(the add button is disabled until one is entered). This user label cannot be the same
as the host name. It is recommended that you use the host name with HBA port
number. For example: Server1-HBA-0.
