Registering Hosts
Host registration is part of the Host Access feature. See About Host Access for details about this feature.
There are two ways to register a host: using the Create or Add button.
Create allows you to create a host by manually entering the host information.
- From the web client, select Setup > Host Access > Host Registration.
- Click Create.
- Enter a user-defined host name for the host.
- Enter the host WWPN.
- Select the host type from the Select Type pull-down list.
- Click Apply.
The host displays in the list of registered hosts on the Setup - Host Registration screen.
- Once you have finished adding hosts, you can proceed to Enabling Tape Drives for Host Access.
Add allows you to select a host for registration from a list of unregistered hosts.
- From the web client, select Setup > Host Access > Host Registration.
- Click Add.
The library displays a list of all currently unregistered hosts that are connected to tape drives or FC I/O blades in the library.
- Select a host and click Add (you can only add one host at a time).
- Under Add a Host, enter or modify the host name in the Name field and select the host type from the Select Type drop-down list.
- Click Apply.
This registers the host. The page reloads so you are now viewing the Registered Hosts list on the Setup - Host Registration screen. The host you just added displays on the Registered Hosts list (and no longer displays on the Unregistered Hosts list).
- If you need to register more hosts from the Unregistered Hosts list, click Add again to see the list of unregistered hosts, and proceed from Step 4.
- Once you have finished adding hosts, you can enable tape drives for host access (see Enabling Tape Drives for Host Access).
