Adding cluster hosts to the storage array

  • Add cluster hosts to the storage array:

    1. For each server to be added to the storage array, obtain the HBA’s WWNs.

    You can view the HBA WWNs from the server’s iDRAC or ESXi shell:

    • To view the WWNs from the iDRAC, log in to the iDRAC, expand Hardware, and then click Fibre Channel devices. Expand a device under Fibre Channel Ports to view the port’s WWN.
    • To view the WWN from the ESXi shell, run the following command:

    esxcli storage core adapter list

    The port WWNs are displayed, as shown in the following figure:

    2. Under Access, click Hosts.
    3. Click the plus sign (+) in the upper left of the Hosts pane.
    4. In the Name field, name the server, and then click Next.

    The Automatically Discovered Initiators section of the window shows all discovered initiators.

    1. Select the WWN of the server that is being added to the storage array, and then click Next.
    2. Review the selections and click Finish.
    3. Repeat the preceding steps for all compute servers to be added to the storage array.
