Adding a host enables you to administer its file systems, archiving processes, media, and so on, through the browser interface.
To add a host:
fsmadm add management-station-name:domain-name
Only hosts that are added to the list through this command can remotely administer the host.
The Add Host window is displayed.
If the host is part of a Sun Cluster environment, a list of the other nodes in the cluster is displayed. Select the other nodes to also add them as managed servers for an HA (highly available)-QFS configuration.
Note - To create an HA-QFS configuration, you must also use the Sun Cluster management tool, Sun Cluster Manager, to configure the devices as part of a Sun Cluster resource group. SAM-QFS Manager includes ha in the description of file systems that are configured on cluster devices even if the devices are not part of a resource group and the file systems are not therefore truly highly available.
When you add a host, the software detects any file systems that are already configured on the host. These file systems are automatically displayed on the File Systems Summary page.
If no file systems have already been created on the host, you can create and configure a new file system.
