Add initiators to a host

You can add existing initiators to an existing host from the Hosts table (Provisioning > Hosts > All Initiators) by selecting the initiator and choosing Add to Existing Host from the drop-down list. Follow the on-screen directions to complete the process.

Keep the following rules in mind when adding initiators to a host:

• The initiator must be attached with the same access, port, and LUN settings to the same volumes as every other initiator in the host. An initiator must be named (nicknamed) to be added to a host; if it is not already named, a default name will be assigned. Click the initiator slide-over to edit/add an initiator nickname.
• A host can contain a maximum of 128 initiators.
