You can update LUN paths for volumes that are attached to a server.

If LUN paths become outdated, you can update them through the detail window for the server.

  1. On the dashboard, click Servers, then click the server that you want to update. The detail window for the server opens.
  2. Select one or more volumes for which you want to edit LUN paths, then click Edit LUN Path to open the Edit Paths window.

  3. The Host Mode is set by default to the server operating system. You can make a selection if needed.
    The server OS Type is provided when the server is added to Ops Center Administrator.
  4. The prepopulated Host Mode Option depends on the Host Mode selection. The default Host Mode Option can be changed manually.
    Default values are set only for VMWARE EX and WIN EX host modes. The default for all other Host Modes is none.
    Ops Center Administrator identifies all host groups containing any of the server WWNs. If all of those host groups have the same host mode and host mode options, those settings are prepopulated with the same settings in the host groups.
  5. Auto Create Zone is set to No by default. You can set it to Yes to automatically create zones.
  6. Click Next.
  7. In the Create Paths window, you can view servers and their WWNs, along with ports on the storage system.

    Edit LUN path--Create Paths

    Ops Center Administrator will scan for existing host groups on the storage system and try to reuse them by default. The following options are available for managing LUN paths:
    • Existing paths are populated as follows: all existing host groups with one or more server WWNs and the exact same host mode and host mode options selected on the Attach Settings window are populated as paths.
    • To prevent the volume from being added to an existing path, click the existing path to remove it.
    • To manually create a path, click WWNs to select them and click a port to connect them with blue connector lines. To delete the connection, click the connector again.
    • Optionally, you can click Switch View to use tables to create paths by selecting Server Ports to attach to Storage Ports.

    For VSP 5000 series storage systems, you can click a port to display a list of ports with their DKC locations, CTL locations, and redundancy levels.



  8. When you are satisfied with the paths, click Submit.
