Adding a Single Host

HBAnyware enables you to specify a single OOB host to be managed.  If the host is successfully discovered as a manageable host, it is added to the static list of hosts and if it has not been discovered in-band, the host and its HBAs are added to the discovery tree.

To add a single host:

  1. Start HBAnyware.

  2. From the Discovery menu, select Out-of-Band/Add Host. The Add Remote Host dialog box appears.

  1. Enter the name or the IP address of the host to be added.  Entering the IP address is the best way to add a new host.   

Note Entering the host’s name will not always work.  It requires that there be a DNS server available on the network to resolve the host’s name to an IP address.  This method will also not work for multi-byte character sets as the system call to resolve the host’s name only takes single-byte character sets.  If the host’s name cannot be resolved, you receive an error message.
  1. Click OK. If the new host was added successfully you will receive a message indicating this. If the new host could not be added you will receive a message to that effect.
