Manually registering an initiator

About this task

Metro node automatically discovers all connected initiators and populates the Initiators view. If, for some reason metro node did not discover the initiator, you must manually register the initiator. Make sure that you specify the correct host type in the Host Type column as this attribute cannot be changed once the registration is complete. To change the host type after registration, you must use the CLI to unregister the initiator, and then register it again using the correct host type. Supported host types lists the host types supported with metro node.
NOTE You must register each port of a host's HBA/HCA as a separate initiator.

    1. In a metro node Local:
