Create a Temporary Host Entry (Optional)

When no host entry for the SAN host is available in Oracle FS System Manager (GUI), create a temporary host entry. This host entry will be replaced when you install FSPM.

1. Find the Fibre Channel Port WWN or iSCSI host initiator name of one of the host ports that you have connected to the Pillar Axiom Slammer or Oracle FS System Controller.
   The port WWNs can be found on the host by running the following command:

   # scsimgr get_info all_ctlr

   The abbreviated output of this command shows information for all SCSI controllers in the host. For FC controllers, the port WWN is in a line similar to the following:

   Port name = 0x50060b00001cf8c2

   The iSCSI Initiator name can be found on the host by running the following command:

   # iscsiutil -l

   The abbreviated output of this command shows information for the iSCSI initiator name in a line similar to the following:

   Initiator Name: iqn.1986-03.com.hp:ca-devapm-123.a1812027-916c-11e2-9b88-9805f2cc1cba
   

2. In the GUI, select SAN > Storage > Hosts, and select the Associate Hosts action.
   Tip: You can also use the Oracle FS CLI for this purpose. Review the CLI Reference Guide for information.
3. Enter a unique temporary Host Name for the entry (this Host Name will be replaced when FSPM is installed).
4. Select Specify WWN or Specify iSCSI device name and enter one of the discovered host port WWNs or iSCSI initiator name from the command output.
   To enter the port WWN into the GUI, take the sequence after the "0x" and split it into eight sets of two characters separated by colons. For example, for the Port name, you would enter the following:

   # 50:06:0b:00:00:1c:f8:c2

   Tip: If there are fewer than 16 characters after the "0x", fill on the left with zeroes.
   For the iSCSI initiator name, enter the complete name .
5. Click OK to create the host entry.
6. Select the new entry to configure it.
