Mapping Multiple External Lus At One Time (Add Lu (Auto)); Auto Map Setting Window - HP StorageWorks XP12000 User Manual

Mapping multiple external LUs at one time (Add LU (Auto))

This section describes the procedure to map multiple external LUs at one time. The procedure starts with the
Add LU (AUTO) command.
NOTE: Before mapping the external LU, you must check whether any application (for example, RAID
Manager XP) using the command device is in progress. If any application using the command device is in
progress, stop the application.
When mapping multiple external LUs at one time, the CU:LDEV numbers for the mapped destination
internal LDEVs are assigned in a series. When performing the mapping operation, you can select the first
CU:LDEV number for the mapped destination internal LDEVs. External Storage XP assigns the selected
CU:LDEV number as the first mapped destination LDEV, and as many subsequent CU:LDEV numbers are
kept for mapping as the number external LUs required to be mapped. To automatically perform the
mapping operation, you can let External Storage XP select the first CU:LDEV number.
NOTE: If you set Interval for the mapping, the CU:LDEV number of the internal LDEV that must be
mapped is set to the specified interval value.
CAUTION: If the LUs you are mapping include a volume with the VMA setting, you cannot use the Add LU
(AUTO) command to map them at one time.
Use the Auto Map Setting and Select LDEV windows

If you clear the Except OPEN-V check box, OPEN-V and available mainframe emulation types appear
in the list.
If you select the Except OPEN-V check box, open-system emulation types other than OPEN-V also
appear in the list. To map the external LU as an open system LU, decide the mapped LU's emulation
type, either OPEN-V or other than OPEN-V. To map the external LU as an open-system LU with an
emulation type other than OPEN-V, select the Except OPEN-V check box.
