Chapter 6 — Configuring and Managing Partitions
Use the following steps to configure the robotic path visibility.
1. From the Partition Users screen, click Next. The Robotic Path Visibility
2. Select either one or both ports to provide the robotic control path.

Configure the Port Addressing for the Controllers

The RIM you selected to provide the robotic control path for the TeraPorter
is said to "export" the partition to the host. In this context, the RIM is
referred to as the exporting F‐QIP. Use the Exporting F‐QIP Settings screen
to configures the port addresses for the RIM (see Select the Robotic Control
Path on page 195).

TeraPorter(s), but requires software that supports two control
paths.
 Alternatively, you can use two RIMs and configure controller
failover (see Configure Controller Failover on page 132).
 The WWPN of the Fibre Channel port on the exporting
controller is used as the WWN for the partition. See World
Wide Names for Partitions on page 73 for detailed
information about the relationship between the Fibre
Channel port on the exporting controller and WWNs for
partitions.
