SANpath Dynamic LUN Assignments

SANscape allows the user to remotely manipulate SANpath storage devices (SPDs/LUNs) if the version of the SANpath software installed is 3.1 or later.

Switching to the Resource View

Using the Resource View, you can drag and drop (attach) SPDs to a selected server and between servers. The Resource View also provides details concerning associated devices, such as their TCP/IP addresses and assigned domain names.

To Use the Resource View:

  1. Click the Resource View tab located directly below the toolbar in the main window to toggle between the Main View and the Resource View.

    The Resource View shows the SANpath storage subsystem at the root of the tree view. All the available SPDs and servers that have visibility to this SANpath storage subsystem are shown under this SANpath tree node when expanded.


  2. Double-click the Available SANpath Devices icon to display all the SPDs that can be assigned. Also, you can expand each SPD to see the list of servers to which the SPD can be allocated.


Additionally, you can expand Servers to display the servers to which one or more of the Available SANpath Devices can be assigned.
