4.7.7 Persistent Device Naming
One of the most powerful benefits of storage area networks (SANs) is
scalability; the freedom to quickly add or delete storage components. To
facilitate trouble-free SAN reconfigurations, you can save a list of devices
currently connected to the host adapter. Later, if certain devices are
powered off, the adapter ensures that the remaining devices appear at
the same mount point. Technically, the LSI Logic host adapter “locks” the
association of an FC target with an alias name reference. The LSI Logic
host adapter manages the details. When you mark a device persistent,
mapping information is saved on the LSI Logic host adapter in a
nonvolatile memory device.
The following is an example of how to save devices in the persistent
device table using LSI Logic Fcode:
Step 1. Select the controller you want to modify, making a selection
from the list as shown in Figure 4.1.
