Viewing ITLs for a storage volume
About this task
The Show ITLs dialog box shows the selected storage volume's back-end path (metro node back-end port, storage target port,
and LUN). For each storage volume there should be at least two initiator-target-LUN (ITLs) for each director, indicating that
each director has two paths to the storage volume. The two paths should include two back-end ports on each director, each
connected and zoned to a separate port on the array. This ensures that there is high availability and no single point of failure.
In this dialog box, you can also search for a specific initiator, target or LUN, and sort the columns of data. This information
displayed is read-only.
Steps
1. From the GUI main menu, do one of the following:
● In a metro node Local:
a. Select Provision Storage.
b. In the View by drop-down, select Storage Volumes.
● In a metro node Metro:
a. Select Provision Storage.
b. In the Provision on drop-down, select the cluster of the storage volume.
c. In the View by drop-down, select Storage Volumes.
2. Select the storage volume, and then select MORE > Show ITLs.
The Show ITLs dialog box is displayed and lists all ITLs for the storage volume.
3. To search an initiator, target or LUN, click the
icon corresponding to the element and type the name in the field that
appears.
4. Click Close.
Renaming a storage volume
