Description
A storage view is a logical grouping of front-end ports, registered initiators (hosts), and virtual volumes used to map and mask
LUNs. Storage views are used to control host access to storage.
For hosts to access virtual volumes, the volumes must be in a storage view. A storage view consists of:
● One or more initiators. Initiators are added to a storage view using the export storage-view addinitiatorport
command.
● One or more virtual volumes. Virtual volumes are added to a storage view using the export storage-view
addvirtualvolume command.
●
One or more front-end ports. Ports are added to a storage view using the export storage-view addport command.
CAUTION:
The name assigned to the storage view must be unique throughout the metro node. In metro node
Metro configurations, the same name must not be assigned to a storage view on the peer cluster.
Use the ll clusters/*/exports/storage-views command to display the names of existing storage views
before assigning a name.
