fc.fc_host.create
=================

Creates FC host (pairing).

This will associate an `alias` with a corresponding Fibre Channel WWPN.  For HA sytems the alias will be associated with a pair of WWPNs, one per node.

`alias` is a user-readable name for FC host (pairing).

`wwpn` is the WWPN in naa format (Controller A if HA)

`wwpn_b` is the WWPN in naa format (Controller B, only applicable for HA)

`npiv` is the number of NPIV hosts to create for this FC host.
