Select the initiator for the new host. In this example, esxi05 only is used.
Note: Add one initiator per host instance. In this example, the host initiators for hosts esxi05 through esxi08 are listed since the controllers were added to the NVMe/TCP storage adapters on the ESXi host esxi05 through esxi08 and were automatically discovered.
