Create a CSV file

In preparation for loading host data, enter the information into a spreadsheet from which you will create a comma-separated file.

The table in the spreadsheet should be in the following format:

  • first column - host name

  • second column - node WWN

  • third column - port WWN

Example of a host WWN CSV file
test_host, 50:06:0E:80:05:63:B7:20, 50:06:0E:80:05:63:B7:21

If a host has multiple HBAs, the CSV should contain a row for every HBA so that all HBAs for the host will be loaded. For example:

host123, 50:06:0E:80:05:63:B7:20, 50:06:0E:80:05:63:B7:21
host123, 50:06:0E:80:05:63:B7:21, 50:06:0E:80:05:63:B7:24
host123, 50:06:0E:80:05:63:B7:25, 50:06:0E:80:05:63:B7:26
