Symptoms
Customer asked about this alert on his initiators showing as not logged in through Unisphere
Cause
The host doesn't have any initiators logged into storage system.
This is caused mainly because one or more initiators on the hosts are not registered to the storage system, this may also require zoning changes on the switches.

Resolution
The customer has to make sure from the below points:
-Check the connection between the initiator and storage system (he has to assign a LUN for the initiator of the host)
-Ensure that the zoning configuration is correct for the fiber channel (FC) connections, and the ISCSI connections from the relevant hosts are actually logged into the storage resource on the storage system.
