Creating hosts
Click Provisioning > Hosts > Create Hosts to open the Create Hosts wizard to create hosts and host groups from existing initiators.
Follow the on-screen directions to create one or more new hosts and attach those hosts or host groups to initiators. Fields with a red asterisk are required. The wizard prompts you to create a new host or host group, add initiators, and create or select a volume to attach to the host or host group. All selected volumes will be attached to the newly created host.
NOTE If you have a small monitor, you may need to scroll to the bottom of the wizard to see all of the available options.
NOTE If your storage configuration has virtual pools greater than 2 PB, use host-side driver settings to increase the host I/O timeout interval (Block Device Timeout) to 80 seconds.
