SVC v7000 Host Operations

Host Listing Operations

1. List all hosts

   svcinfo lshost

2. List a host by name

   svcinfo lshost <host_name>

   ex: svcinfo lshost HOSTNAME

3. List a host using wildcards

   svcinfo lshost -filtervalue host_name="<expression>*"

   ex: svcinfo lshost -filtervalue host_name="HOST*"

4. List vdisks mapped to host

   svcinfo lshostvdiskmap <host_name>

   ex: svcinfo lshostvdiskmap HOSTNAME

Host Operations

1. Create a FC host

   svctask mkhost -name <host_name> -fcwwpn <wwpn_list>

   ex: svctask mkhost -name HOSTNAME -fcwwpn 210100E08B251EE6

   ex: svctask mkhost -name HOSTNAME -fcwwpn 210100E08B251EE6:210100F08C262EE7

Host Mapping Operations

1. Map a vdisk to a host

   svctask mkvdiskhostmap -force -host <host_name> <vdisk_name>

   ex: svctask mkvdiskhostmap -force -host HOSTNAME VDISKNAME_DB_01

2. Add FC WWPN to a host

   svctask addhostport -fcwwpn <wwpn_list> <host_name>

   ex: svctask addhostport -fcwwpn 210100E08B251EE6 HOSTNAME

   ex: svctask addhostport -fcwwpn 210100E08B251EE6:210100F08C262EE7 HOSTNAME

3. Remove FC WWPN from a host

   svctask rmhostport <-force> -fcwwpn <wwpn_list> <host_name>

   ex: svctask rmhostport -fcwwpn 210100E08B251EE6 HOSTNAME

   ex: svctask rmhostport -fcwwpn 210100E08B251EE6:210100F08C262EE7 HOSTNAME
