Storage Partitioning Wizard: Select Logical Drives/LUNs

Related Topics

Use this screen to select the logical drives to be included in the storage partition, and then assign a specific Logical Unit Number (LUN) to each logical drive.

Important: An Access Logical Drive mapping is not required for directly managed storage subsystems. If an Access Logical Drive mapping is assigned to the Default Group, an Access Logical Drive mapping will be assigned to every host created from the Default Group. To prevent this from happening, delete the Access Logical Drive mapping from the Default Group. For more information, see Deleting a Host Port, Host, Host Group, or Logical Drive Mapping.

The name of the host group and/or host selected on the previous Wizard screen is displayed.

Procedure

1

Highlight a logical drive in the Select logical drive list box.

2

Select the LUN to be associated with the logical drive from the Assign LUN drop-down list.

Tip: The LUN specified must be between 0 and 31.

3

Select Add.

Result: The highlighted logical drive and its associated LUN are displayed in the Logical Drives to include in partition list box, and are removed from the Select logical drive and Assign LUN list boxes.

4

Repeat steps 1 to 3 until all the logical drives to be included in the storage partition have been moved into the Logical Drives to include in partition list box.

5

Select Finish.

Result: A progress dialog is displayed. Once all the mappings have been processed, the OK button becomes available.

6

Select OK.

Result: The storage partition is created. The host group or host associated with the partition is moved out of the Default Group in the Topology View, and a storage partition icon is displayed next to the host group or host to designate the partition. The logical drives with the partition are displayed in the Defined Mappings pane.
