IMPORTANT: Make sure the added host is physically connected to the network before the scheduled job runs.

1.Click the button.

2.Enter a name for the host in the Host Name box.

3.Enter a port name of the host in the Port WWN box.

4.Click the Add button.

5.Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for multiple ports.

6.When you are done with your changes, click OK. The host is added to the list of hosts.

7.Physically connect the host to the network before the job runs.

Step 3 - Select a Volume

To select a volume:

1.In the Volume pane select mapped and unmapped volumes. You can select multiple volumes on Windows computers by pressing the Ctrl key as you select the volumes.

•Mapped - There are two types of mapped volumes:

•Masked - The volume is exposed to the storage port and to the host.

•Unmasked - The volume is exposed to the storage port, but not to the host.

•Unmapped – The volume is not exposed to the storage port. The management server puts all unmapped volumes in this category when it first discovers an array.

•Free Extents – Available free extents that can be used to create a meta volume. You can create meta volumes on EMC Symmetrix and LUSE on HDS storage systems. To create a meta volume or LUSE, select multiple free extents under the Free Extents node in the Volume pane. When you select free extents, they must of the same type. For example, on Symmetrix, you cannot select a mirrored volume and a BCV (business continuous volume) to create a meta volume.

When you first discover a storage system, no free extents are displayed. This is because the management server puts all unmapped volumes into the “unmapped” category for the list of volumes by default. To move a volume to the free extent node, delete the unmapped volume. When the volume is deleted, it is moved to the free extents node. The free extents category is used internally by the management server. See ”Deleting a Storage Volume” on page 550 for more information.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the free extents you select are not being used. Data on the free extents becomes unusable when a meta volume is created.

2.Click Step 3.

3.If you are asked to specify a LUN number, provide a LUN for each volume displayed. See ”Providing a LUN Number” on page 625 for information about numbering LUNs.
