FC Host
The FC Host feature allows an FC-attached host to create a virtual private remapping of available LUNs.
NOTE: Use FC Host to map partitions when a Fibre Channel host is connected to the MCB.
Depending upon host operating system constraints, it may be necessary to reboot or reconfigure a host as a result of device
map changes resulting from using FC Host.

A dialog box is displayed. Long strings may not be visible at first, but the FC Host dialog box is sizeable.
NOTE: If you do not have an Fibre Channel host connected to the library, the FC Host command is not
available.
The host's port, blade, and WWN (World Wide Name) are displayed.

The dialog box in Figure 3 is displayed. In Figure 3 you can see the default view. Compare the default view to
the Show Details view displayed in Figure 5 . In the Show Details view, the name, product ID, vendor ID, and
serial number of the logical library are shown in the Device column. In the default view, only the names of
available partitions are shown in the Device column. LUN spaces from 0-255 are always available in the
LUN/Device column, no matter what view you have chosen.
In Figure 3 , the partitions (devices) that have not yet been manually reassigned to a new map position appear in
heavy black type in the Device column. Partitions are treated by the system as devices. You must drag a
partition to the LUN/Device column for the Library Management Console to manage it and its media. In this
example, the control LUN has already been remapped as shown in heavy black type in the LUN/Device column.
