text: **Creating iSCSI hosts**
  
  Before you create an iSCSI host in Storwize V7000, the iSCSI qualified name (IQN) address 
  of the host must be known. See your host operating system-specific documentation to find the 
  IQN of the host. 
  
  Create a host by completing the following steps: 
  
  1. Create the iSCSI host by using the**mkhost**command (see Example 8-17).

  Host, id [4], successfully created

  2. The iSCSI host can be verified by using the**lshost**command, as shown in Example 8-18.
