When performing a LUSE operation on an LDEV with a path defined, consider the host operating
system to ensure that the host mode is correctly defined. For the following defined paths, the host
operating system and host mode are as follows:
Table 3 Host Mode for Defined Paths by Operating System
Host Mode Operating System
Host mode is 2C Windows
Host mode is 2C Windows Server
Host mode is 21 VMware
Not applicable AIX5.2
Not applicable AIX5.3
An LDEV with a defined path can be used for LUSE operations, with the following considerations:
•
For hosts other than Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, VMware,
AIX5.2, and AIX5.3, an LDEV cannot be used for LUSE operations using a path-defined LDEV.
•
Before performing a LUSE operation on an LDEV with a path defined from a Windows 2000,
Windows Server 2003, or Windows Server 2008 host, ensure that the host mode of the
Windows operating system is 2C (Windows Extension). If the host mode is not 2C, change
the host mode to 2C before performing the LUSE operation.
•
Before performing a LUSE operation on an LDEV with a path defined from a VMware host,
ensure that the host mode of the VMware host is 21 (VMware Extension). If the host mode is
not 21, change the host mode to 21 before performing the LUSE operation.
