addhost
Use the addhost command to add AIX® or IBM® z/OS® host system connections to the copy services management server.
For z/OS host systems, this command is required only if you are connecting to the host system by using an IP address or host name. If the copy services management server is installed on the z/OS host system, the host system connection is automatically added. This connection is referred to as the native z/OS connection.

Example: Adding an AIX host system
The following command adds an AIX host system with the IP address 192.0.2.0.
In this example, you could omit the -port parameter
because port 9930 is the default.
csmcli> addhost -type aix -port 9930 192.0.2.0Example: Adding a z/OS host system
The following command adds a z/OS host system with the IP address 192.0.2.1.
csmcli> addhost -type zos -username abcuser 192.0.2.1The following output is returned:
Please enter a password for the host userid of abcuser: IWNR7000I Connection 192.0.2.1 added successfully.
