New Settings Can Affect Other Settings
As a general rule, the settings are applied to the array one at a time, in the order they appear in the
spreadsheet. This means that the settings of the prior function tags can affect the following function tags.
For example, if you were to delete a host group in the [HostGroup] tag, the path settings related to
the deleted host group would also be automatically deleted. If you then write the new settings for the
automatically deleted path in the [LUN] tag or the [WWN] tag, that would cause an error.
LUN Manager Spreadsheet Settings
The following LUN Manager functions can be defined by using Configuration File Loader:
• Channel Adapter (CHA) settings allow you to change the PCB mode. See
“ Setting the CHA Mode ” on page 152.
• Port Settings allow you to change the settings for arbitrated loop-physical address (AL-PA), data
transfer speed (host speed), and topology. You can also change the XP Secure Manager setting.
See “ Port Settings ” on page 153.
• Host Group Settings allow you to create, delete, or change the host group. See
“ Setting the Host Group ” on page 154.
• WWN settings allow you to add, delete or change the WWN information. See
“ Setting the WWN Information ” on page 156.
• LU path settings allow you to add, delete, or change LU paths. See
“ Setting the LU Path ” on page 157.
• Command Device settings and set or release the command device and command device security.
See “ Configuring the Command Devices ” on page 158.
Column Format
The LUN Manager spreadsheet allows you to write the settings for CHA mode, port, host group, WWN,
path definition, and command devices. The format of the LUN Manager spreadsheet is as follows:
• 1st column to 6th column: Current settings area
• 7th column to 10th column: Blank columns
• 11th column to 16th column: New settings area
The number of columns used depends on the function tag. If a particular function tag requires less than
six columns, the unused columns are left blank.
Table 19 describes the format of the LUN Manager spreadsheet.
