You can configure Fibre Channel, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), or iSCSI-attached hosts to a clustered system.
If you are configuring a host object on a Fibre Channel fabric-attached host or a Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) attached host, ensure that you complete all zone and switch configuration. If you are configuring a directly attached Fibre Channel host, there must be connections to both nodes in each I/O group that has volumes that are mapped to that host. Also, test the configuration to ensure that zoning was created correctly.
If you are configuring a host object on the system that uses iSCSI connections, ensure that you complete the necessary host-system configurations and configure the system for iSCSI connections.
If you are configuring a host system, such as hosts that are running the VMware operating system, define each host in the system as a separate host object. Do not combine multiple worldwide port names (WWPNs) from multiple hosts as one host object.
To create host objects by using the CLI, see the information about configuring host objects by using the CLI. To delete an existing host object, use the rmhost command.
