Configuring the Controller
Note: If you have not manually assigned a WWN an alias, the controller will attempt to give the WWN a default name. The default name, if available, is the name of the manufacturer of the server’s host bus adapter (HBA), enclosed in angle brackets. For example, a Qlogic HBA will have a default name of <Qlogic>.
4Select the WWN you want to name and press Enter. The Enter Host Name screen displays.
5Enter the name (alias) you want and press Enter.
You can enter up to 16 characters. You can use any combination of characters and spaces.
Configuring LUN Zoning
Once you set up server (host) names (aliases), you can easily set up your LUN zoning. This is where you determine which servers can access each array LUN.
You set up LUN zoning by either excluding or including servers on a list for each array LUN. The list can include or exclude up to 16 specific servers or all servers for each array LUN.
The zoning information is stored as part of the array’s metadata using the WWN for each server. If you install a new controller, the array’s LUN zoning will remain. The LUN zoning will also remain if you change the array’s LUN.
Note: Changes to LUN zoning take effect immediately, therefore, you should make changes that limit access to arrays when the arrays are not in use.
To set up LUN zoning:
1From the System Menu, select Array Menu and press Enter. The Select Array screen displays with a list of existing arrays.
2Select the array you want and press Enter. The Array Menu screen displays.
