IMPORTANT:

You must check the Ready check box next to each server WWN before the storage

pool entry can be shared by logical servers. The Ready check box is grayed out and checked by
default for a SAN Catalog Storage Entry and a SAN Pre-populated Catalog Storage Entry.

For a SAN Storage Entry and a SAN Catalog Storage Entry, after presentation is complete, modify
the storage pool entry, select a Storage Port WWN from the drop-down menu and press Save. You
cannot activate a logical server until this step is performed.

The number of server WWNs allocated to each port of a storage pool entry is based on the number
of allowed sharers specified by pool entry’s Maximum Number of Sharers field. One server WWN
is allocated per port for each allowed sharer. As logical servers share this pool entry, they are
assigned one specific server WWN per port.

The value in the Available column in the Storage Pools table on the Manage Storage Pools screen
is determined by the number of server WWNs you have checked as Ready, minus the number of
server WWNs that are already assigned (the number of logical servers sharing this pool entry).
