To grant access, do one of the following:
• To allow access to all HBAs within a server, select the server in the Servers and HBAs/Initiators
available to allow access to the selected Logical Disk list, and then click Add.
• To allow access to individual HBAs, select each HBA in the Servers and HBAs/Initiators available to
allow access to the selected Logical Disk list, and then click Add.
• To allow access to all of the HBAs and servers shown in the Servers and HBAs/Initiators available
to allow access to the selected Logical Disk list, click Add All.
The HBAs and servers selected to grant access are listed under Servers and HBAs/Initiators allowed to
have access to the selected Logical Disk.

To deny access, do one of the following:
• To disallow access to all HBAs within a server, select the server in the Servers and HBAs/Initiators
allowed to have access to the selected Logical Disk list, and then click Remove.
• To disallow access to individual HBAs, select each HBA in the Servers and HBAs/Initiators allowed

• To disallow access to all of the HBAs and servers shown in the Servers and HBAs/Initiators allowed

NOTE:
If a server is designated as an Unknown Server, you may be unable to deny access to that
HBA or server (that is, you cannot remove it from the allowed list). For more information, see the
Unknown Server problem section in
The updated list of HBAs and servers allowed to have access to the LUN is listed under Servers and
HBAs/Initiators allowed to have access to the selected Logical Disk.

(Optional) To manually give an HBA access to the logical drive:
a. On the Logical Disk Server Presentation dialog box, click Manual Add. The New HBA Port Names
dialog box opens; see
(for EVA storage) or
(for MSA storage).
b. In the first box, enter the WWPN of the HBA. You can enter the HBA WWPN formatted as either
20 consecutive alphanumeric characters, or as 10 two-digit segments separated by hyphens; for
example, xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx.
c. In the second box, enter the name of the server on which the HBA(s) are installed. If you do not
know the name of the server, enter Unknown.
d. When you finish manually adding the HBA, click OK to save the information and close the dialog
box. To close the dialog box without saving any data, click Cancel.
NOTE:
A map on the left side of the dialog box presents a graphical representation of access
assignments. HBAs that currently have access to the LUN (access is granted, as in
) are
designated with a solid blue line drawn between the HBA and the LUN. If this access is removed
(access is denied, as in
), the line is dotted red. If the HBAs currently have no access to the
LUN and access is granted, the line is dotted blue.
