Procedure

1

From the Subsystem Management Window, select the View >> Mappings pull-down menu option, or select the Mappings tab below the toolbar.

Topology View

Displays a tree structure of the host groups, hosts, arrays, and logical drives for the selected storage subsystem.

  • A Undefined Mappings node displays all unmapped logical drives or logical drives that have been mapped only once.
  • Mapped logical drives using storage partitions are highlighted by the partitioning icon .

Defined Mappings View

Displays details for each item in the storage subsystem topology.

Select the storage subsystem or another node from the Topology View.

Result: The details for the selected node are displayed in the Defined Mappings View. The following information is displayed regardless of the node selected:

Logical Drive Name

This column is blank unless a LUN has been assigned.

Accessible By

This column is blank unless a user-supplied name for the host or host group has been defined.

LUN

Displays the user supplied name or "Access" when Access Logical Drives are selected.

Logical Drive Capacity

Displays the total logical drive capacity. If an Access Logical Drive is selected, this column is blank.
