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.

Description

This command is used to create a host cluster object.

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 myhost1
