Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V/VM Universal Volume Manager User’s Guide
Mapping an External Volume Manually
After setting the attribute of the port used for Universal Volume Manager to
the external port, you are enabled to map the external volume as an internal
volume.
Caution: Do not specify 01 for the LDKC number when
you map a volume of
which the emulation type is 3380 series except for 3380-3, 3380-3A, 3380-
3B, 3380-3C.
Note: Before you map the external volume, check whether any application
(for example, Command Control Interface) is using the command device. If
there is, stop the application.
To map the external volume manually:
1. Start Storage Navigator, and open the Volume Operation window.
2. Make sure that Storage Navigator is in Modify mode.
3. Right-click one of the following in the Volume Operation tree:
– Subsystem: Allows you to create a new path group, and add external
volumes to the new path group
– Path group: Allows you to add external volumes to the existing path
group.
4. Click Add Volume (Manual) in the pop-up menu and click the desired
mapping policy in the submenu.
– When you click the Subsystem in the Volume Operation tree, the
Configure Cross-subsystem Paths dialog box is displayed. Go on to step
5.
– When you click the path group in the Volume Operation tree, the
Volume Discovery is executed and the Add Volume dialog box is
displayed. Go on to the step
7.
5. Configure cross-subsystem paths in the Configure Cross-subsystem Paths
dialog box.
Configure at least two cross-subsystem paths and change the priority if
necessary.
6. Click OK to close the Configure Cross-subsystem Paths dialog box.
The Volume Discovery is executed and all the external volumes found by
the Volume Discovery are displayed in the Add Volume dialog box.
The Add Volume dialog box displays a list of all the external volumes which
can be mapped to the local storage system. To map these volumes, set the
external volume parameter or the LDEV number as explained in the
following steps.
