Adding or removing initiators from a storage view
About this task
Add an initiator to an existing storage view to allow the associated host to access the virtual volumes in the view. Remove an
initiator when the host no longer needs to access the virtual volumes in the storage view. If a storage view is inactive, you can
add or remove initiators with no effect on the system.
CAUTION: If a storage view is active, removing an initiator can cause the data on all virtual volumes in the
storage view to be unavailable to the initiator. Before removing an initiator, ensure that it is no longer accessing
the virtual volumes in the storage view.
Steps
1. From the GUI main menu, do one of the following:
a. In a metro node Local:
i. Select Provision Storage.
ii. In the View by drop-down, select Storage Views.

Adding virtual volumes to a storage view
About this task
Add a virtual volume to a storage view to allow the hosts in the view to access the volume. If a storage view is inactive, you can
add or remove virtual volumes with no effect on the system.
By default, when adding a virtual volume to a storage view, metro node automatically assigns the LUN numbers, beginning with
0 (0 - 16383). However, you can manually assign the LUN number, or view the LUN number of volumes already added to the
storage view.
NOTE:
You cannot change the LUN number of a virtual volume already added to a storage view. To change the LUN
number of a virtual volume already added to a storage view, remove the virtual volume from the storage view, and then add
it again using the desired LUN number. The volume cannot be actively receiving I/O.
Steps
1. From the GUI main menu, do one of the following:
a. In a metro node Local:
i. Select Provision Storage.
ii. In the View by drop-down, select Storage Views.
