NOTE: If you present (assign) a logical disk to a Windows system, you can instead use the system’s Disk
Management option to create partitions and assign a drive letter or mount path on partitions.
1. To access Computer Management, choose one of the following options:
• Open the Windows Control Panel, select Administrative Tools, and then select Computer
Management.
• On the Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, and then click Manage.
2. In the Computer Management utility’s left pane under Storage, click Disk Management.
Assigning and unassigning a logical disk to a server
SAN Connection Manager provides the capability for assigning or unassigning logical disks to servers
within your SAN. When a logical disk (LUN) is assigned to an HBA or server for access, that LUN is
unmasked to that HBA or server. When the HBA or server does not have access to the logical disk (LUN),
the LUN is masked from the HBA or server. LUN assignment is also referred to as LUN masking.
To assign a logical disk to a server:
1. To access the Logical Disk Server Presentation dialog box, choose one of the following options:
• On the Logical Disk Operations menu, click Present (Un-present) Logical Disk to Server.
• In the navigation pane (or in the content pane on the LUN Assignment map), right-click the LUN
icon. Then on the shortcut menu, click Assign Logical Disk to Server.
The Logical Disk Server Presentation dialog box ( Figure 65 ) opens.

2. From the Select Logical Disk for server presentation list, click the logical disk you want to
assign/unassign access to selected HBAs and servers.
