Goal

How to remove unassociated WWN's from the host section

Solution

First check if these WWN's are included in the zones and if they should be associated with any other hosts appliances. Also remove them from switch zones if not needed.
Unassociated LUNs can also be duplicates of already associated WWN's, so simply reassociating those WWN's will bring the listing back to normal
If you want to associate the WWN’s to host appliances, simply right click on them and select Associate Hosts and add them to the correct host listing from the pull down menu

If you want to remove the unassociated WWN's, right click on them in the GUI and select Delete Host. Alternatively you can use AxiomCLI (an example is listed below):

The following is an example on how to remove unassociated WWN from the host listing:

1. Login to AxiomCLI

> axiomcli login -u administrator -p pillar1 10.169.122.110
