Configuring the Cross-subsystem Path
You can configure the cross-subsystem path using the Configure Cross-subsystem Paths dialog box.
This section explains the procedure to add a cross-subsystem path to an existing path group. To
create a new path group and configure cross-subsystem paths, you need to operate the mapping
operation. For the procedure, see
“Mapping an External Volume Automatically” (page 67)
.
To add the cross-subsystem path to an existing path group:
1.
Start Remote Web Console, and open the Volume Operation window.
2.
Make sure that Remote Web Console is in Modify mode.
3.
Click the path group that you want to add a cross-subsystem path in the Volume Operation
tree.
4.
Right-click the cross-subsystem path in Cross-subsystem Paths in the Volume Operation list.
5.
Click Configure Cross-subsystem Paths in the pop-up menu.
The Configure Cross-subsystem Paths dialog box opens (see
“Configure Cross-subsystem Paths
).
6.
In the Available Paths, select the following three items (see
).
•
External storage system: Select the external storage system.
•
Port: Select the external port of the local storage system, which is the starting point of the
cross-subsystem path.
•
WWN: Select the WWN of the external storage system, which is the ending point of the
cross-subsystem path.
If the external storage system or the WWN that you want to choose is not displayed in the
dialog box, you can update the information by clicking Port Discovery, selecting the port that
connects to the WWN, and then clicking OK.
