Managing Arrays & Partitions

Figure 3–5shows an example of how you can use InfoShield.

Accounting

HR

Engineering

Web server

Array A, partition 1 accessed by Accounting

Array A, partition 2 accessed by HR

Array C (single-partition array) accessed by all hosts

Array B, partition 1 accessed by Engineering

Array B, partition 2 accessed by HR and Accounting

Array B, partition 3 accessed by all hosts, except Web server

Figure 3–5InfoShield example

For example, in Figure 3–5, Array A has two partitions. Partition 1 has an include list that contains only Accounting, so only the Accounting server can access partition 1. Array B, partition 3 has an exclude list that contains only the Web server, so all hosts except the Web server can access the partition. Array C uses the default setting, Include All Hosts, which permits all hosts to access the array.

C.3.8.1 Viewing Known WWNs

You can view a list of 16 host WWNs that the Galaxy 65 Subsystem is aware of on your SAN. The Galaxy 65 Subsystem will be aware of any host that was started since the Galaxy 65 Subsystem was last restarted. Typically, hosts scan for devices during their start process. When this happens, the Galaxy 65 Subsystem saves the WWN information for the host and retains the information even after you restart the Galaxy 65 Subsystem. The list includes the last 16 hosts that started or that you named.

You can determine which WWN is for which host by starting one host at a time or scanning for devices from a host, and then viewing the WWN list. The host that scanned for devices most recently is first on the list. You can then give the hosts nicknames you recognize, for example you can use the computer name that has already been assigned to each host, to make InfoShield easier to manage.
