text: **8.5.3 Adding and deleting a host port by using the CLI**
  
  This section describes adding and deleting a host port to and from Storwize V7000. 
  
  **Adding ports to a defined host**
  If an HBA is added, or if a network interface controller (NIC) is to be added to a server that is 
  defined within the Storwize V7000, the**addhostport**command can be used to add the new 
  port definitions to the host configuration. 
  
  If the host is connected through SAN with FC, and if the WWPN is zoned to the Storwize 
  V7000 system, issue the**lshbaportcandidate**command to compare it with the information 
  that is available from the server administrator, as shown in Example 8-29.
