2.

For both emulation types, set an LU path from a Target port to the internal volume, as shown
in the following figure.

The LU path enables host I/O to the mapped volume.

Using mapped volumes

When external volumes are mapped and ready for use, you can perform the operations supported
by External Storage. Review supported software products and operations in

“HP P9500 software

supported for external volumes” (page 25)

.

NOTE:

A mapped external volume can be accessed only from the local system. Do not access

the volume from a host connected to the external storage system.

Also, do not use external storage system functions to access the mapped external volume, including
copy functions.

Recognizing local system from the external system

Though the local and external systems are connected, the external system may not recognize the
local system. If desired, you can try to make this happen by performing the Discover External Target
Ports operation. See

“Adding an external path to an existing path group ” (page 40)

for instructions.

If the path does not become mapped after 15 minutes, though, the external system might not be
able to recognize the local system.
