Use the mkhostcluster command to create a host cluster object.
Syntax
mkhostcluster -name name -seedfromhost { host_id_list | host_name_list } -ignoreseedvolume { volume_id_list | volume_name_list }
Parameters
- -namename
- (Optional) Specifies the name of the host cluster object.
- -seedfromhosthost_id_list | host_name_list
- (Optional) Adds the specified host to the host cluster. The host cluster mappings to existing
volumes then become shared host cluster mappings. If a list of hosts is provided, the hosts are
mapped to the same volume that uses the same I/O group and with the same SCSI LUN.
Note: These
become shared mappings unless explicitly excluded with -ignoreseedvolume.
- -ignoreseedvolumevolume_id_list | volume_name_list
- (Optional) Specifies volumes that are not part of the shared host cluster mappings. These volumes
remain privately mapped to the host or hosts. You must specify -seedfromhost
if you specify this parameter.
Description
This command is used to create a host cluster object.
Note: This command fails if any of the specified seeding hosts has an associated host throttle.
An invocation example that creates host cluster myhostcluster and obtains
its mappings from host myhost1
mkhostcluster -name myhostcluster -seedfromhost myhost1
The detailed resulting output:

An invocation example that creates host cluster myhostcluster that obtains
its mappings from host myhost1
The system keeps the mapping to its boot drive (volume_4) private.
mkhostcluster -name myhostcluster -seedfromhost myhost1 -ignoreseedvolume volume_4
