2. Click Host, then select Create UDH.
3. Type the name of the host, select the operating system type, and then select

virtual volumes exposed to multiple HBAs installed in a single server.
4. Click Confirm to save the association between the host and the selected HBAs.
5. Click Manage under the Host tree, and then click the Manage button on the far
right side of the host to which you want to assign a storage device profile.

GUI.

to assign to the selected UDH.
See Table 4-2 for the guidelines for selecting the storage device profile. Make
sure you select the personality that is supported for your high-availability

type is supported. See the solution guide that corresponds to your
high-availability setup for more information.
