SAN.

Deﬁning the paths

Use Remote Web Console (shown), Command View (XP arrays only), or Command View XP Advanced

Edition to deﬁne paths (LUNs) bet ween hosts and volumes in the disk array.

This process is also called “LUN mapping.” In Remote Web Console and Command View, LUN mapping

includes:

• Conﬁguring ports

• Enabling LUN security on the ports

• Creating host groups

• Assigning host bus adapter WWNs to host groups

• Mapping volumes to host groups (by assigning LUNs

In Command View XP Advanced Edition, LUN mapping includes:

• Conﬁguring ports

• Creating storage groups

• Mapping volumes and WWN/host access permissi ons to the storage groups

For details see the LUN Conﬁg uration and Security Manager User’s Guide or Command View XP

Advanced Edition D evice Manager Web Client User’s Guide. Note the LUNS and their ports, W W N s,

nicknames, and LDEVs for later use in verifying host and device conﬁguration.

NOTE:

A LUN assigned a number greater than FF is outside the accepted range of numbers for a Windows

server(00toFE)andwillnotberecognizedbytheserverorbevisibleforuse.

Windows 2003:

To see LUNs, you must create a LUN 0 when using the SCSI Port Miniport Driver. This is

not necessary if using the StorPort Miniport Driver.

Windows 2000:

A LUN 0 must be created to di scover more than LUNs 0 to 7.
