Create Host

Description

This command creates a new host. If you do not specify a host group in which to create the new host, the new host is created in the default group.

Syntax

create host userLabel=”
                                 hostName”
                                 [hostGroup=(“
                                 hostGroupName” | defaultGroup)]
                                 [hostType=(
                                 hostTypeIndexLabel |
                                 
                                 hostTypeIndexNumber)]

Parameters

Parameter Description
userLabel The name that you want to give the host that you are creating. Enclose the host name in double quotation marks (“ ”).
hostGroup The name of the host group in which you want to create a new host. Enclose the host group name in double quotation marks (“ ”). (If a host group does not exist, you can create a new host group by using the create hostGroup command.) The defaultGroup option is the host group that contains the host to which the virtual disk is mapped.
hostType The index label or the index number that identifies the host type. Use the show storageArray hostTypeTable command to generate a list of available host type identifiers. If the host type has special characters, enclose the host type in double quotation marks (“ ”).
  • NOTE: You can use any combination of alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores for the names. Command names can have a maximum of 30 characters. If you exceed the maximum character limit, replace square brackets ([ ]) with angle brackets (< >) to overcome this limitation.
