I am trying to add a new host to our SAN. I am using a FC4700 running agent 5.1.0. My Clariion has Access Logix installed and I am trying to create a storagegroup for the new host.
However, the FC4700 must know about the host before I can add it to a storagegroup. The navicli reference guide says I do this with the 'register' command.
When I run 'navicli -h x.x.x.x register' I get:
Error: register command failed
Command not Supported
How am I supposed to add new hosts to the SAN if I cannot add their HBA's to the FC4700? The new host is a linux box. I would try this from a Navisphere console except I do not have one setup. My only access to the FC4700 is through navicli.
BTW, I am running the navicli tools from a management host. No EMC software is installed on the linux side. Just the HBA driver (Emulex) and the card.
Thanks,
Aaron
