Manages the SAN host entries on the Oracle FS System.
A SAN host entry is a record that represents a group of one or more initiators. An initiator is the World Wide Name (WWN) of an FC HBA port or the name of an iSCSI initiator. You create host entries manually using the san_host ‑add command or automatically using Oracle FS Path Manager (FSPM).
The Oracle FS System automatically creates unassociated SAN host entries when an initiator is discovered on the SAN. The name of the initiator and the unassociated SAN host entry are the same.
A host entry that an administrator associates with one or more host initiators. Use the san_host ‑add command to manually associate the initiators for a SAN host as associated hosts. After associating the initiators to the host, the associated host is a host entry.
A host that FSPM associates with one or more host initiators after logging in to the Pilot. FSPM manages the association of the initiators on the FSPM host to the FSPM host name.
Provide an alias for the SAN host initiator ports. An alias makes the ports easier to identify.
Configure authentication between the iSCSI Controller ports and the hosts.
Enable the HP‑UX compatibility option that allows the system to use the HP-UX addressing scheme for LUNs.
Configure the FSPM load balancing settings on some operating systems.
Associate the host entry to a host group, which is a named, logical collection of hosts.
