Tip: Virtualizing an SMI-S enabled storage system without registering the
system in HCS can also be done by using the port scan and volume discovery
functionality.
You must be assigned All Resources to view or perform tasks on SMI-S enabled storage systems.

The following table describes the methods you can use to register one ormore hosts:
Table 3-1  Methods for registering hostsPurposeMethodDescriptionTo manually
register
individual hosts.Register each
host by WWN/
iSCSI name.To register hosts in HCS based on WWN/iSCSI name, manually
specify the host name, OS type, and WWN/iSCSI name
information.
Hosts can be registered without Host Data Collector or Device
Manager agent setup.
Virtualization servers can also be manually registered, but the
virtual machine...

PurposeMethodDescriptionwith Hitachi

host information
between Device

Systems
Manager.Install Device
Manager and
Compute
Systems
Manager on
the same
server, and
obtain host
information
through Host
Data Collector.If Device Manager and Compute Systems Manager are installed
on the same server, information about hosts being managed by
both products is synchronized automatically when using Host
Data Collector. Therefore, hosts registered in Compute Systems...

2.A virtualization server that is registered manually (iSCSI is not supported
for virtualization servers).
3. A host registered by using Device Manager agent.
4. A normal host or a virtual machine registered either manually or by using
Host Data Collector.
When hosts with the same WWN or iSCSI name are registered by using the same method:
• If a host is registered without using the Device Manager agent, the WWN or iSCSI name of the host that was registered first is retained.
• If a host is registered by...

Note: To register a virtualization server, you cannot specify a subnet, a
range, and multiple IP addresses.
○ User name and password of a user (who has the role of system
administrator) for logging on to vCenter Server or virtualization servers
Note:  If vCenter Server is being used, enter the user name and
password for vCenter Server. If vCenter Server is not being used, you
need to enter and register user names and passwords of virtualization
servers one by one if multiple virtualization servers are...

by each host OS type (for example: AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, Windows, Virtualization Servers, or...

Tip: If one host has multiple WWNs or iSCSI names detected, even if it is
one host in the actual environment, it might occasionally be registered as
multiple hosts by Device Manager. This is because hosts are generated in
host groups or iSCSI targets when one host has multiple WWNs or iSCSI
names . In this case, the hosts must be merged, meaning merge the WWNs
or iSCSI name. Merge the hosts that have been added as multiple hosts in
Device Manager into one host, meaning that WWN or iSCSI name information...

5.On the  Resources  tab, in the hosts tree, confirm the target host
information and the source host removal. You can also confirm this on the  Administration  tab in the Hosts tree under  Managed Resources .
