Allocating storage using AutoPath 189
Configuring and Controlling Your Datacenter
Determining if type of connection is available
The administrator uses Topology view to verify that Fibre Channel connections to the
array exist.
To do this, the administrator:
1. Clicks the Topology button on the Console toolbar.
2. In the Console tree, expands the folders Storage Systems, CLARiiON.
3. Drags array WRE00022201023 into the Topology view.
4. Drags hosts l82ar134 and L82AR136 into the Topology view.
5. Turns on Show Links to ensure that the cabling is in place between host l82ar136
and the CLARiiON array in this fabric (Figure 168 on page 189).

Configuring the connection
The administrator determined in the previous section that mapped LUNs are available
for allocation. Now the administrator checks to see if a zoned path exists between the
host and array. If the path does not exist, the administrator will use AutoPath to create
one.
