Assigning and unassigning a logical disk to a server

Simple SAN Connection Manager provides the capability for assigning or unassigning logical disks to

servers within your SAN. When a logical disk (LUN) is assigned to an HBA or server for access, that LUN

is unmasked to that HBA or server. When the HBA or server does not have access to the logical disk (LUN),

the LUN is masked from the HBA or server. LUN assignment is also referred to as LUN masking.
To assign a logical disk to a server:

1.

To access the Logical Disk Server Presentation dialog box, choose one of the following options:
• On the Logical Disk Operations menu, click Present (Un-present) Logical Disk to Server.
• In the navigation pane (or in the content pane on the LUN Assignment map), right-click the LUN

icon. Then on the shortcut menu, click Assign Logical Disk to Server.

The Logical Disk Server Presentation dialog box (

Figure 64

) opens.
