mkhostcluster
Use the mkhostcluster command to create a host cluster object.
Syntax
Parameters
- -name name
- (Optional) Specifies the name of the host cluster object.
- -seedfromhost host_id_list | host_name_list
- (Optional) Adds the specified host to the host cluster. The host cluster mappings to
existing volumes then become shared host cluster mappings. If a list of hosts is provided, the
hosts are mapped to the same volume that uses the same I/O group and with the same SCSI LUN.
Note: These become shared mappings unless explicitly excluded with -ignoreseedvolume.
- -ignoreseedvolume volume_id_list | volume_name_list
- (Optional) Specifies volumes that are not part of the shared host cluster mappings. These volumes remain privately mapped to the host or hosts. You must specify -seedfromhost if you specify this parameter.
- -ownershipgroup owner_id | owner_name
- (Optional) The name or ID of the ownership group to which the object is being added.
Description
This command is used to create a host cluster object. All hosts in a host cluster must use the same protocol (SCSI or NVMe).
Note: This command fails if any of the specified seeding hosts has an
associated host throttle.
An invocation example that creates host cluster myhostcluster and obtains
its mappings from host myhost1
mkhostcluster -name myhostcluster -seedfromhost myhost1The detailed resulting output:
No feedbackAn invocation example that creates host cluster myhostcluster that

The system keeps the mapping to its boot drive (volume_4) private.
mkhostcluster -name myhostcluster -seedfromhost myhost1 -ignoreseedvolume volume_4 The detailed resulting output:
