Create a Host Group

To facilitate mapping a LUN to multiple SAN hosts, you can group the hosts into a host group.
Prerequisite:

Administrator credentials to enable access to the Oracle FS System.

If a cluster of SAN hosts or group of associated hosts does not already belong to a host group in the Oracle FS System (GUI), you can use the Oracle vSphere Plug-In for Oracle Flash Storage Systems in the vSphere Client to create a host group.
  1. In the vSphere inventory tree, right-click an ESX host or a datacenter.
  2. Click Manage Oracle FS Storage > Manage Host Groups.
    Result:A dialog appears that shows any Oracle FS System that is connected to the vSphere environment.
  3. Select the Oracle FS System for which you want to create the host group and authenticate your login credentials with the Oracle FS System if you have not yet done so.
  4. Click Next.
  5. In the Manage Host Groups page, select the Group tab.
  6. Click Create.
  7. Enter a name for the new host group in the blank line you just added to the Groups list.
  8. Click OK to complete the host group creation.
