236 Implementing the IBM Storwize V5000 Gen2 with IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.1
Now NPIV has been enabled on the IBM Spectrum Virtualize system, and hosts should also
be using the virtualized WWPNs for I/O. At this point, the host zones can be amended
appropriately to use primary host attach port WWPNs (virtual WWPNs) only.
5.5 Creating hosts by using the GUI
This section describes how to create Fibre Channel, iSCSI, and SAS hosts by using the IBM
Storwize V5000 GUI. We assume that the hosts are prepared for attachment, as described in
5.3, “Preparing the host operating system” on page 201, and that you know the host WWPNs
and their iSCSI initiator names.
Considerations when you configure hosts in the IBM Storwize V5000
When you create a host object in the IBM Storwize V5000, it is important to verify the
configuration limits and restrictions, which are published at the following website:

1. Open the Hosts configuration window by clicking Hosts (Figure 5-38).
