Map Volume - HP P2000 Reference Manual

map volume

Description Maps specified volumes using settings that override the volumes' default mapping.
When a volume is created, if no mapping settings are specified the volume is not mapped;
otherwise, those settings become its default mapping, which specifies the controller host ports and
access level that all connected hosts have to the volume, and the LUN presented to all hosts to
identify the volume. The default mapping's LUN is known as the volume's default LUN.
The map volume command creates mappings with different settings for different hosts. Optionally,
you can specify the LUN, ports, and access level for a mapping. A mapping can make a volume
accessible to hosts, or inaccessible to hosts (known as masking). For example, assume a volume's
default mapping allows read-only access using LUN 5. You can give one host read-write access
using LUN 6, and you can give a second host no access to the volume.
NOTE:
NOTE:
access; otherwise, the file system will be unable to mount/present/map the volume and will report
an error such as "unknown partition table."
Syntax
map volume
[access read-write|rw|read-only|ro|no-access]
[mapping ports.LUN]
[lun LUN]
[ports ports]
[host hosts]
volumes
Parameters access read-write|rw|read-only|ro|no-access
Optional. The access permission available to attached hosts: read-write (rw), read-only (ro), or
no-access. If the access parameter is specified as read-write or read-only, either the mapping
parameter or the lun parameter must be specified. For an explicit mapping, no-access causes the
volume to be masked from specified hosts. If the access parameter is omitted, access is set to
read-write.
mapping ports.LUN
Deprecated; use the ports and lun parameters.
lun LUN
Optional. The LUN to use for the mapping. If a single volume and multiple hosts are specified, the
same LUN is used for each host. If multiple volumes and a single host are specified, the LUN will
increment for the second and subsequent volumes. If multiple volumes and hosts are specified, each
host will have the same LUN for the first volume, the next LUN for the second volume, and so on. The
lun parameter is ignored if access is set to no-access. If the lun parameter is omitted, the
default LUN is presented. Do not use the lun parameter with the mapping parameter.
ports ports
Optional. The ports to use for the mapping; any unspecified ports become unmapped. In a combo
system, select either FC or iSCSI ports, not both. If the ports parameter is specified, the lun
parameter must also be specified. The ports parameter is ignored if access is set to no-access.
If the ports parameter is omitted, all ports are mapped. Do not use the ports parameter with the
mapping parameter.
