Chapter 8. Hosts 379
If the new HBA is not connected or zoned, the lshbaportcandidate command does not 
display your WWPN. In this case, you can manually enter the WWPN of your HBA or HBAs 
and use the -force flag to create the host, as shown in Example 8-31.
Example 8-31   Adding a WWPN to the host definition using the -force option
IBM_Storwize:ITSO-V7000:superuser>addhostport -hbawwpn 2100000000000001 -force  
ITSO-VMHOST-01
IBM_Storwize:ITSO-V7000:superuser>
This command forces the addition of the WWPN 2100000000000001 to the host called 
ITSO-VMHOST-01.
The host port count can be verified by running the lshost command again. The host 
ITSO-VMHOST-01 has an updated port count of 3, as shown in Example 8-32.

If the host uses iSCSI as a connection method, the new iSCSI IQN ID is used to add the port. 
Unlike FC-attached hosts, with iSCSI, available candidate ports cannot be checked. 
After getting the other iSCSI IQN, issue the addhostport command, as shown in 
Example 8-33.

If the host uses NVMe as a connection method, the new NVMe NQN ID is used to add the 
port. Unlike SCSI FC-attached hosts, with NVMe, available candidate ports cannot be 
checked.
After getting the other NVMe NQN, issue the addhostport, command as shown in 
Example 8-34.
Example 8-34   
IBM_Storwize:ITSO-V7000:superuser>addhostport -nqn nqn.2016-06.io.rhel:875adad3345

Note: WWPNs are not case-sensitive within the CLI.
