The Mappings View of the Subsystem Management Window contains two panes: the Topology View and the Defined Mappings View.
Note: Resize either pane by dragging the splitter bar, located between the two panes, to the right or to the left.
The Topology View is one of two panes in the Mappings View of the Subsystem Management Window. The Topology View provides a tree-structured view of logical nodes related to storage partitions. Click on the plus or minus sign beside the node to expand or collapse the view.
The storage subsystem, or root node , has four types of child nodes. Click on the pop-up glossary topic for a description of the node.

Undefined Mappings |
The Undefined Mappings Node has one possible type of child node, as follows:
|
||||||
Default Group |
Note: If the Storage Partitioning feature is disabled, all created logical drives are in the Default Group. A Default Group Node has two possible types of child nodes, as follows:
|

Host Group |
A Host Group Node has two possible types of child nodes, as follows:
|
||||||
Host |
A Host Node has two possible types of child nodes, as follows:
|
The storage partition icon , when present in the Topology View, indicates a storage partition has been defined for a the Default Group, a host group or a host. This icon is also displayed in the status bar of the Mappings View window when storage partitions has been defined.
The Defined Mappings View displays the mappings associated with a node selected in the Topology View.
The information shown below is displayed for a selected node.
Column Name |
Description |
Logical Drive Name |
The user-supplied logical drive name. The factory-configured Access Logical Drive An Access Logical Drive mapping is NOT required for directly managed storage subsystem and may deleted from the Defined Mappings pane. For more information, see Deleting a Host Port, Host, Host Group or Logical Drive Mapping. |
Accessible By |
Displays the topological element (Default Group, a defined host group or a defined host) that has been granted access to the logical drive in the mapping. |
LUN |
The LUN number assigned to the particular logical drive, that the host(s) use to access the logical drive. |
Logical Drive Capacity |
Displays the logical drive capacity in units of GB. |
Type |
Indicates whether the logical drive is a standard or FlashCopy logical drive. |
The information displayed in the Defined Mappings View varies according to what node you select in the Topology View.
If you select... |
Then the Defined Mappings View displays... |
Root (storage subsystem) node |
All defined mappings. |
Default Group Node or any of its child nodes |
All mappings that are currently defined for the Default Group (if any). |
Host Group Node (outside of Default Group) |
All mappings that are currently defined for the Host Group. |
Host Node that is a child node of a Host Group Node |
All mappings that are currently defined for the Host Group, plus any mappings specifically defined for a particular host. |
Host Ports Node or individual host port node outside of the Default Group |
All mappings that are currently defined for the host port's associated host. |
