dellemc_unity_host Adding new host with new initiators fails

I'm trying to create a new host with initiators that have not been logged into the array yet. I keep getting error - Invalid initiator passed. I am able to create the host manually through the GUI using the same initiators.

It looks like line 629 of dellemc_unity_host.py gets a list of initiators from the array and if the initiator supplied to the module is not in the list it errors out. I know for a fact the the initiators haven't been logged into the array yet because the hosts are boot from san. i'm trying to add the hosts to the array first so i can get the boot luns ready to go at first boot of the host. I tried changing log.error on that lookup to log.warn and comment out the failure. after that the module continued.

I then got an error that the "Initiator 'id' mapped to another host". This looks to be coming from the get_list_unmapped_initiators() function. i did verify on the array that the initiators i'm using do not exists anywhere on the array.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Patrick
