About path management
When you allocate a volume to a host, P9000 Command View AE Software assigns paths between
the volumes and the host. You can add, delete, or change these paths from either the host or storage
system.
You can manage paths from a list of allocated volumes in the Storage Systems tree, Hosts tree, logical
group, and from a list of volumes returned from a search. You can manage paths by selecting multiple
volumes.
Volumes allocated to hosts belong to a specific host group. The same target host port is set for all
volumes in any given host group. Therefore, when adding or deleting a target host port for one or
more volumes, you must select all of the volumes in that host group.
Editing paths from hosts
You can add, delete or change the paths between the host and storage system.
To edit a path from a host:
1. On the Resources tab, click Hosts and expand the tree to display a list of hosts.
2. In the Hosts List, click the link for the name of the host with the path you want to change.
3. In the Volume List, select a volume and click Edit LUN Paths.
The Edit LUN Paths dialog box opens.
4. Add or delete host or storage ports.
