11.2.1 Adding a new Host to existing Host Group

You can decide to incorporate a new host to the host group, and make it work together with
the other host or hosts as a cluster. Remember that when you put the new host into the host
group, the new host can access all logical drives mapped to this host group immediately.
Perform the following steps to add Host to Host Group:
1. Start to define the new host by performing the steps shown in 11.2, "Defining Host" on
page 283.
2. Specify the host type the same as other hosts in the target host group, select Yes - this
host will share access to... in window as in Figure 11-8 on page 288,
3. Now, you can incorporate the host into the existing host group where your other host or
hosts are already defined. Choose Select existing host group in window like in
Figure 11-12, and select Next to finish.
