Quantum DX-Series User's Guide
The Device Mapping page allows you to map or assign DX-Series
virtual devices (robot and tape drives) to specific Fibre Channel
ports. The default setting for both the DX30 and DX100:
• Port 5 is assigned the robot and tape drives 0 through 2.
• Port 6 is assigned tape drives 3 through 5.
There are two ways to assign virtual devices to a specific Fibre
5
Channel port:
Click
a Auto Populate
automatically assign virtual devices to a Fibre Channel port. The
controller assigns a robot and partition to each port.
Example: A system with 1 partition would have a robot assigned
to LUN 0 and all other devices within that partition assigned to
additional LUNs on that port.
Use the drop down boxes located under the port number to select
b
the devices mapped to that port. Do NOT assign the same device
to more than one port unless your backup application can
support multiple mappings of the same device to more than one
port.
Example: Assign the robot and tape drives 0 and 1 to port 5. From
the host, only the robot and tape drive 0 and 1 are visible from
port 5. Assign tape drive 2 and 3 to port 6. Only tape drive 2 and
3 are visible from port 6.
When all of the virtual devices have been assigned to the appropriate
6
port, click to accept the port settings.
