• If the Concatenation List command does not appear, the logical volume is not dispersed

across parity groups.

Defining and viewing alternate paths

Use LUN Manager to define alternate paths. If an LU path fails, you can switch to its alternate path.
To create an alternate path, you must copy the original path from one port to another. For example, to

define an alternative for the LU path from port CL1-A to logical volume 00:01, you must copy the LU

path from port CL1-A to another port.

Copying paths from one Fibre Channel or iSCSI port to another

To use alternate paths, you must copy LU paths from one port to another.

CAUTION:

Before performing the following steps, see

Notes on using LUN Manager

for important information.

CAUTION:

To define alternate paths when LUN security is disabled, you must redefine the LU path.

1.

Start LUN Manager. The LUN Manager pane (

Figure 14

or

Figure 15

) appears.

2.

In the tree, double-click the copy source port to display host groups or iSCSI targets below the port.

3.

To copy all LU paths defined to a host group, complete the following steps to copy the host group

or iSCSI target:
a. In the tree, right-click the host group, and select Copy. The selected host group or iSCSI target

turns green.

NOTE:

If you right-click a host group or iSCSI target for an initiator port, you cannot copy

paths.
