Host discovery in multi-blade server chassis

A system for discovering hosts on a multi-blade server chassis, comprising:

• a processor device in communication with a memory device, the processor device operational on the multi-blade server chassis, wherein the processor device is adapted for:
• querying a switch operational in the multi-blade server for first world-wide name (WWN) information of the hosts, wherein the first WWN information is known to the switch,
• saving the first WWN information on a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) subsystem of the multi-blade server chassis, and
• mapping a system location for each of the hosts to the RAID subsystem.

A computer program product for discovering hosts on a multi-blade server chassis, the computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:

• a first executable portion for querying a switch operational in the multi-blade server for first world-wide name (WWN) information of the hosts, wherein the first WWN information is known to the switch;
• a second executable portion for saving the first WWN information on a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) subsystem of the multi-blade server chassis;
• and
• a third executable portion for mapping a system location for each of the hosts to the RAID subsystem.
