Setting a UUID

You can set an arbitrary ID to identify a logical volume from the host using LUN Manager when
host mode option 33 is set to on. The ID is referred to as the UUID (user-definable LUN identifier)
and is typically composed of a Prefix and an Initial Number.

Note the following when setting a UUID:

If host mode 05 OpenVMS is used, the host mode option 33 is set to ON, LUs that do not
have UUID settings are inaccessible.

If host mode 05 OpenVMS is used with host mode option 33 set to OFF, LUs that have UUID
settings are inaccessible.

The following rules apply to setting a UUID:

These characters cannot be used for UUID: \ / : , ; * ? " < > |

A space character cannot be used as the first or the last character of a UUID.

UUID is case-sensitive. For example, Abc and abc are different UUIDs.

To keep track of device information, create a correspondence table similar to the example in

“Correspondence table for defining devices” (page 187)

.

Procedure 24 To set a UUID

1.

In the Remote Web Console main window, in the Storage Systems tree, select Ports/Host
Groups.

The list of available ports appears in the tree.

2.

In the tree, select a port.

The host groups that correspond to the port appear in the tree.

3.

In the tree, select a host group.

Information about the selected host group appears on the right side of the window.

4.

Select the LUNs tab.

Information about LU paths associated with the selected host group appears.

5.

Select one or more logical units to which volumes are assigned (if a volume is assigned to a
LU, the columns on the right of the LUN column are not empty).

When multiple LUs are selected, the same UUID is set to all selected LUs.

6.

Click More Actions, and then select Edit UUIDs.

7.

In the Edit UUIDs window, in Prefix, type the UUID.

If a UUID is already specified, you can change it. The UUID before changing appears in UUID
in the Edit UUIDs window. However, if multiple LUs, or N/As are selected, the Prefix box is
blank.
