Note: You must configure a host before you can assign it to a new host access group (see Adding a
Remote Host Access Group on page 225).
Caution: If you are connecting the DXi4700 directly to a host without using a Fibre Channel switch,
you must know the WWPN connecting to each DXi4700 port. If you do not specify this information, the
virtual medium changer and tape drives will not display on the device manager.
To access the Remote Hosts page, on the Remote Host Access page, click the Remote Hosts tab (see
Figure 147 below).

To add a host:

A host is made known to the DXi4700 if you enter the host ID on this page, or if the host logs on to one
or more Fibre Channel target ports.
If you do not see the world wide name (WWN) of the host, make sure the host is connected to a Fibre
Channel port on the DXi4700 and click Discover Hosts again.
The Backpanel Locations section displays a graphical representation of the Fibre Channel and
Ethernet ports as they appear on the rear of the system.
Note: A mapped (green) status indicates the host is currently logged on to one or more Fibre
Channel target ports.

automatically by the system.)
Alias (Optional) Enter a descriptive alias for the host.
3. Click Apply.
