Adding Hosts or Host Set (to Export App Volume Set)

The Export action for an App Volume Set supports only the Hosts and Host set VLUN templates. When you export an App Volume Set to a host or host set, a VLUN template is created. The template enables you to export all the virtual volumes of the App Volume Set as SCSI VLUNs. The virtual volumes are exported to:
  • The initiators of the WWNs of a specified host or,

  • The initiators of a host which is a part of the specified host set.

You can hover over fields to display tooltips.

To navigate to App Volume Sets screen and add hosts or host set to export an app volume set, do the following:

Procedure
  1. On the main menu, select Block Persona > App Volume Sets > Export App Volume Set.
  2. In the Export to panel of the Export App Volume Set dialog, click Add.
    NOTE:

    The Export action for an App Volume Set does not support the Port and Host and port VLUN templates. The node:slot:port (NSP) or both the host name and NSP of the HPE 3PAR storage system to which you want to export the virtual volumes of an App Volume Set cannot be specified. To export the individual virtual volumes of an App Volume Set to port or host and port, use the advanced options available in the Export action for virtual volumes.
