Creating Fibre Channel hosts Creating iSCSI hosts To create an FC host, complete the following steps: IBM_2145:ITSO:superuser> detectmdisk Note:  The  detectmdisk  command does not return any response. If the zoning is implemented correctly, any new WWPNs should be discovered by the SAN  Volume Controller system after running the  detectmdisk  command. Before you create an iSCSI host in the SAN Volume Controller system, you must know the  IQN address of the host. To find the IQN of the host, see your host operating system-specific  documentation. Create a host by completing the following steps: 1. Rescan the SAN on the SAN Volume Controller system by using the  detectmdisk command, as shown in Example 8-16. 2. List the candidate WWPNs and identify the WWPNs belonging to the new host, as shown  in Example 8-17. 3. Run the  mkhost  command with the required parameters, as shown in Example 8-18. 1. Create the iSCSI host by using the  mkhost  command, as shown in Example 8-19. 2. The iSCSI host can be verified by using the  lshost  command, as shown in Example 8-20.
