Configuring Host
Mapping

5

To configure host mapping, you need to select the media changer device

(partition) or tape drive you want to map and assign a new LUN number

for the device.

Details on configuring host mapping include:

• Host mapping is an optional feature and is disabled by default. For

instructions on how to enable or disable host mapping, see

Enabling/Disabling FC Host Mapping

on page 113.

• The

Setup - I/O Blade Host Mapping

screen on the Web client lists the

host name, I/O blade location, World Wide Port Name (WWPN), and

operating system type of each available FC host. You can select the

FC host to configure and proceed to the next screen.
The screen lists the available partitions and tape drives connected to

the FC I/O blade to which the FC host is attached. For each available

partition and tape drive, the screen lists the following:

Description

— For tape drives: Drive [location

coordinates][(associated partition)]. For partitions: the name

assigned to the partition during the partition creation process.

Type

— Device type, for example, processor, media changer

(partition), tape drive.

Serial Number

— Serial number of the partition or tape drive.

Vendor

— Device manufacturer.

Product

— Name of the device.

LUN

— Current logical unit number (LUN) assignment. Assign a

new LUN number for the device.

Note:

Depending on host operating system constraints, it might be

necessary to reboot or reconfigure the host due to device

mapping changes that result from configuring host mapping.

Note:

The operator panel host mapping configuration screens

show less information about each device; however, you

still select the host and device(s) and configure the LUN

number(s(.)
