Use the mkhostcluster command to create a host cluster
object.
Syntax
mkhostcluster -namename -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:
No feedback
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
