8.2.2 Configure Host Access (Manual)

As described in 8.1.1, "What is a host?" on page 136, the DS3000 communicates only
through WWNs. The storage subsystem by default does not relate ports and HBAs to the
servers where they are installed. You have to configure these relationships in this section of
Storage Manager.
1. To do this, select Configure Host Access (Manual). You are prompted to enter the name
of the host you want to configure (Figure 8-17 on page 145).
Enter a unique name, which meaningfully describes the host. Even if your initial
configuration is not very complex, unique names are important, because typically the
configuration will grow and become more complex over time.

2. In the drop down field, choose the host type. This is the operating system that the host
server is or will be running.
3. Click Next. The Specify HBA Host Ports (Figure 8-18 on page 146) window displays.The
"Known HBA host ports:" field on the left shows all WWNs that the DS3000 can currently
see. 8.1.2, "Preparations on the host server" on page 136 described how to determine
which WWN belongs to which host. Click Refresh to rescan your environment for WWNs.
