Figure 45 Information about LU Paths to be Deleted
NOTE:
If you delete numerous paths at one time, the deletion may take time and the dialog box
may seem to hang temporarily.
Defining and Viewing Alternate Paths
LUN Manager enables you to define alternate paths. If one LU path fails, you can switch to its
alternate path.
To create an alternate path, you need to copy the original path from one port to another. For
example, if you want to define an alternative for the LU path from the CL1-A port to the logical
volume 00:00 :01, you need to copy the LU path from the CL1-A port to another port.
Copying Paths between Fibre Channel Ports
To use alternate paths, you must copy LU paths from one port to another.
CAUTION:
•
Before taking the following steps, see
for important information.
•
To define alternate paths when LUN security is disabled, you must redefine the LU path.
To define alternate paths:
1.
Start LUN Manager and display the LUN Manager window (
).
2.
In the tree, double-click the copy source port to display host groups below the port.
3.
To copy all the LU paths defined in a host group, take the following steps to copy the host
group:
a.
Right-click the host group in the tree.
NOTE:
If you right-click a host group for an initiator port, you cannot copy paths.
b.
Select Copy from the pop-up menu.
The selected host group turns green.
