Host Nickname Syntax
You can specify a nickname for a host-side port. A nickname is a case-sensitive
name that can include a maximum of 15 characters, but not comma, quotation mark
(
), or backslash. A name that includes a space must be enclosed in quotation marks.
"
For example, MyHost.
Volume Mapping Syntax
You can specify the controller host ports and LUN to use in a volume mapping by
using the syntax ports.LUN.
ports can be a controller host port identifier, a comma-separated list of port
■
identifiers, or a hyphenated range of port identifiers, or a combination of these.
For SAS, a port identifier is a controller ID (a, A, b, or B) and port number.
■
Examples:
a0
a0-a1
A0,A1,B0,B1
A0-A1,B0-B1
Do not mix controller IDs in a range; for example, A0-B1.
For FC and iSCSI, a port identifier is a single digit. Specified ports must be
■
located on the controller that owns the volume's virtual disk. Examples:
0
0,1
0-1
LUN is a logical unit number from 0–127 (FC and iSCSI) or 0-255 (SAS only) to
■
assign to the mapping.
Examples:
On a SAS system, to map controller A ports 0 and 1 with LUN 8, specify:
■
a0-a1.8
On an FC or iSCSI system, to map a volume owned by controller A using its
■
ports 0 and 1 with LUN 8, specify:
0-1.8
