Automatic disk assignment is enabled for disks by default. If you have disabled
this feature, you must manually assign disk ownership for disks. Automatic disk
ownership does not apply to array LUNS. To assign ownership of disks, array
LUNs, or both to the gateway, complete the following steps.
Note
With the
disk assign
count parameter enables you to specify the number of disks of a particular

type—or array LUNs—that you want to assign. Adding the

array LUNs assigned to this gateway. Parameters are as follows:
◆
disk_name specifies, by disk name or array LUN name, the disks
or array LUNs to be assigned. In most cases, you identify the
name of the specific disks or array LUNs that this gateway is to
own in either of following formats:
disk assign fullLUNname1 fullLUNname2 ...
disk assign fulldiskname1 fulldiskname2 ...

all
the storage array to gateways to be assigned to this gateway.
