When I/O blades are installed in the library and the host mapping feature is enabled, you can access, add, modify, and delete Fibre Channel (FC) host connection information using the Web client. FC hosts are the main processing server on a storage area network (SAN) that receives data and initiates communication with other devices.

NOTE: Host mapping is disabled by default. Host mapping must be enabled before you can access, add, modify, and delete FC host connection information. For instructions on how to enable host mapping, see Enabling/Disabling FC Host Mapping. |
For information on how to access information about the FC hosts that are already connected to the library, see Accessing FC Hosts.
It is necessary to add an FC host if it was not already connected to the library when the library was turned on. For information on how to manually add an FC host connection, see Adding an FC Host Connection.

NOTE: If an FC switch is attached to an I/O blade target port, the FC switch will appear in the Blade Host Management list as if it were a FC host. Do not map library devices to a FC switch. To avoid confusion, it is recommended that you modify the FC switch host name and type using Blade Host Management. |
For information on how to manually modify FC host connection settings, see Modifying an FC Host Connection.
For information on how to delete an existing FC host connection, see Deleting an FC Host Connection.
