Chapter 4. Managing Red Hat Storage Hosts

A host is a physical, 64-bit server with an Intel or AMD chipset running Red Hat Storage 3. You can add new hosts to a storage cluster to expand the amount of available storage.
A host on the Red Hat Storage:
  • Must belong to only one cluster in the system.
  • Can have an assigned system administrator with system permissions.

Important

Red Hat Storage Console uses various network ports for management. These ports must be open on Red Hat Storage hosts. For a full list of ports, see the Red Hat Storage Console Installation Guide.
