Assigning Devices
SAN Manager LM lets you assign devices to hosts or share groups without rebooting SAN
hosts or storage systems.
Tip Storage assignments are effective immediately, but some open applications
such as Windows Explorer may need to be refreshed before the new storage is
visible. If assigned storage is not visible to an open application, tell the user to
press F5 to refresh the display or to quit and relaunch the application.
If an assigned device does not have valid partitions, it will not be listed in
Windows Explorer until it is partitioned. For more information on partitioning
SAN Manager LM devices, see chapter 5.
• Drag a device or device group from the Storage pane onto the destination host or share
group icon.
• Drag multiple selected devices and device groups from the Storage pane onto the
destination host or share group icon.
Note For instructions on reassigning devices, see page 100.
