Assigning a LUN filter involves the following steps: If you do not see the desired HBA device under the Hosts displayed, you can
add the HBA device manually through the Configure Host/WWN window. For details on determining the WWN, see Determining
Host Worldwide Names, Worldwide Node Names, and Worldwide Port Names. When you go to the LUN Filter view, the new HBA device is gray and is
available for LUN filtering. Standard mapping allows all hosts to see all standard mapped logical drives.
LUN filtering restricts the mapping to specific host(s). Before you
can assign a LUN filter, you have to remove the standard host mapping
(indicated by M labels
Click OK to the following message: Operation will delete all normal maps of Logical Drive X Partition X. Do you want to continue? A message confirming the successful deletion of the standard host LUN mapping is displayed. A message is displayed to confirm the addition of the host server.
NOTE: If you uncheck the Hardware Filter check box, you cannot
create a filter mapping; you can only create a standard map. To Map Logical Drives to Hosts If the HBA card connected to the array is not known, drag and drop the logical drive to the host. The program prompts you to filter the array for each HBA card in the host (which means that it is visible to the HBA card attached to it and does not appear for the other HBA cards). The Specify Map Information window is displayed. Note that SANscape automatically maps the logical drive to the first HBA card
listed in the host if there is more than one HBA card.
The assignment of the primary controller or secondary controller to an HBA card is selected for the initial LUN filter assignment, and cannot be changed unless you delete
the LUN filter assignment and start over. To apply a LUN filter to a second host for one array, repeat Step 6 under Adding HBA Devices Manually.
A warning prompt is displayed informing you that two users accessing the same logical drive at the same time may cause data corruption; click OK to add the additional host. |
