If you create a storage entry and do not check Insert Storage Entry into Pool, you can later
modify the storage entry using the Modify button on the Create: Storage Configuration
screen.

Port definition
The Port Selection table allows you to define the ports that can be used to access the volume
selections for this logical server.
Any communication with SAN storage starts with the server’s Fibre Channel ports. Ports are
added in sequential order. For each port, you must select the fabric from a drop-down menu
with which the port will communicate. Each port is created with an automatically generated
server WWN assigned to it. This WWN, like a MAC address for NICs, is used to uniquely identify
this FC port to the SAN. The storage administrator provides access to these ports when
prepresenting LUNs.
1. Click the Add Port button to add a row to the Port Selection table.
2. Select a value from the Fabric drop-down menu.
3. Optional: Select a value from the Speed drop-down menu, or accept the default Auto.
4. Optional: Enter a value in the Server WWN text box. By default, the current server WWN
is entered.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each port for this logical server.
6. To remove the last port added to the table, click the Remove Last Port button. Ports must
be removed in the reverse order in which they were added.

Volume and path definition
After creating and presenting the volumes (LUNs), the storage administrator provides the server
administrator with the information required to complete the logical server storage definition.
This information includes:
• Storage WWN, uniquely identifying the port used to communicate with the SAN
• LUN, uniquely identifying the created volume within the SAN
Using these two pieces of information, the path to the LUN is unique within the FC environment.
