•
Select the correct Host Type, which is the operating system or appliance type, from the Host
Type drop-down list.
•
The Host Connection consists of the port number that the host attaches to, the host's IP
Address, and information about the HBA.
•
You must know the host's World Wide Name to add it manually.

When you are finished, select either Accept New Host or Quit New Host.

Select the Apply button to keep the changes you made to host data fields and LUN assignments.
5
Save your configuration. Refer to
Deleting SFM Hosts
Hosts can be removed from the SAN after initial SFM configuration.
1
Select the host's name in the SFM Access Settings dialog box.
In
Figure 12
on page 79, the hosts online are Genesee, Alison, and Timberline.
If the host is currently online, you cannot delete it until you select the Take Host Off Line button.
Once a host is selected, information about it is displayed in the bottom portion of the dialog box.
2
Select the Delete a Host button.
3
Select the Apply button to keep the changes you made to host data fields and LUN assignments.
Select the Undo button to cancel all changes since the last time Apply was used.
Select the Close button to close the dialog box, or select the x button in the upper right corner of the
dialog box. If you made changes, a confirmation box presents you with the option of not closing until
you apply the changes.

Save your configuration. Refer to
Using eVPS
The access control you achieve with SFM for SAN-wide LUN mapping can be extended to per-host LUN
mapping using eVPS (extended Virtual Private SAN).
When you migrate to eVPS, your mappings must be managed through eVPS.
Note
The SFM screens are disabled as a result of the migration.
You can achieve faster, cleaner management access to mapped LUNs with eVPS. All hosts see the LUNs
to which they have access beginning at LUN 1, rather than beginning at a potentially very high LUN number
that is the device's actual LUN. Like SFM, eVPS can be used to allow multiple Fibre Channel hosts
connected via switches and hubs to be able to share the same SCSI or Fibre Channels while restricting their
access to selected LUNs on those channels.
•
Use eVPS to map LUNs to hosts on a per host basis.
•
The total number of LUNs that can be mapped is 2048.
•
The total number of LUNs that can be mapped per host is 256.
Using eVPS requires you to purchase a license.
Windows Server products only support up to 254 LUNs per Target ID.
