Set paths (volume paths) between volumes and compute nodes.

(Bare metal)

The following describes the steps to be performed from the Volumes window, Volume detailed information window, or Storage Controllers detailed information window. The Storage Controllers detailed information window is displayed only when the compute port uses iSCSI connection.

(Cloud)

The following describes the steps to be performed from the Volumes window, Volume detailed information window, Storage Controllers detailed information window, or Fault Domain detailed information window.

For the steps to be taken from the Compute Nodes window or Compute Node detailed information window, see Allocating volumes to compute nodes (Compute Node).

  • Required role: Storage or VpsStorage

  1. Open one of the following windows.
    • Volumes window
    • Volume detailed information window
    • Storage Controllers detailed information window (only for iSCSI connection)
    • (Cloud) Fault Domain detailed information window (Multi-AZ configuration)
  2. Perform one of the following operations to make connection.
    • In the Volumes window, select the allocation-target volumes (1 to 1,000 volumes), click the preceding icon shown to the right of Select All, and then, from the menu that appears, select Attach Volumes.
    • Change the view mode of the Volumes window to Inventory view, click the preceding icon shown for each allocation-target volume, and then, from the menu that appears, select Attach Volumes.
    • Click the preceding icon in the Volume detailed information window for the volume to be allocated, and then select Attach Volumes.
    • When the compute port uses iSCSI connection:

      • In Volumes of the Storage Controllers detailed information window, select connection-target volumes (1 to 1,000), click the preceding icon shown to the right of Select All, and then select Attach Volumes.

      • In Volumes of the Storage Controllers detailed information window (displayed as inventory view), click the preceding icon displayed for the connection-target volume, and then select Attach Volumes.

    • (Cloud) When Multi-AZ configuration is used:

      In the Primary Fault Domain Volume list tab in the Fault Domain detailed information window, select the allocation-target volumes (1 to 1,000 volumes), click the preceding icon shown to the right of Select All, and then, from the menu that appears, select Attach Volumes.

    The following dialog appears.

  3. Select one or more compute nodes (100 nodes at maximum) to be allocated, enter the following as required, and then click Submit.
    • START LUN: LUN start number

      You can specify this parameter in the case of iSCSI connection or FC connection.

      If you specify the LUN start number, unused LUN numbers are allocated in ascending order from the specified start number. If omitted, unused LUNs are allocated automatically in ascending order.

      Do not enter anything in the case of NVMe/TCP connection.

  4. When the following "Completed" message is displayed, processing is completed.
    • Successfully attached volumes to compute nodes.
