4.7.7Persistent Device Naming

One of the most powerful benefits of storage area networks (SANs) is scalability; the freedom to quickly add or delete storage components. To facilitate trouble-free SAN reconfigurations, you can save a list of devices currently connected to the host adapter. Later, if certain devices are powered off, the adapter ensures that the remaining devices appear at the same mount point. Technically, the LSI Logic host adapter “locks” the association of an FC target with an alias name reference. The LSI Logic host adapter manages the details. When you mark a device persistent, mapping information is saved on the LSI Logic host adapter in a nonvolatile memory device.

The following is an example of how to save devices in the persistent device table using LSI Logic Fcode:

Step 1. Select the controller you want to modify, making a selection from the list as shown in Figure 4.1.
