Access Gateway mapping

Use the following steps to map one or more devices to an N_Port group or remove device mapping
from an N_Port group.

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.

2. To add one or multiple device WWNs to an N_Port group, enter the ag --addwwnpgmapping

Port_Group command with the “[WWN];[WWN]” option.

All the listed device WWNs will use the least loaded N_Port in the port group when they log in,
unless a specific device mapping can be used instead. This command can only map devices
currently connecting through NPIV.

The following example adds two devices to port group 3.

ag --addwwnpgmapping 3 “10:00:00:06:2b:0f:71:0c;10:00:00:05:1e:5e:2c:11”

To change all currently existing device mappings to a different port group use the --all option
instead of listing all the WWNs.

The following example changes all the currently mapped devices to use port group 3 instead of
the current port group mappings.

ag --addwwnpgmapping 3 --all

3. To remove one or multiple devices to an N_Port group, enter the ag --delwwnpgmapping

Port_Group command with the “[WWN];[WWN]” option.

All the listed devices will stop using the least-loaded N_Port in the group when they log in,

The following example removes mapping for two devices to port group 3.

ag --delwwnpgmapping 3 “10:00:00:06:2b:0f:71:0c;10:00:00:05:1e:5e:2c:11”

To remove all devices mapped to an N_Port group, enter the command with the --all option
instead of listing all WWNs. All of the devices will cease automatic use of the least loaded port
in the port group when they log in. The -all option is a shortcut for specifying all of the devices
that are already mapped with the addwwnpgmapping command.

The following example removes all devices mapped to port group 3.

ag --delwwnpgmapping 3 --all

4. Enter the ag

wwnmapshow command to display the list of WWNs mapped to port groups

and verify that the correct devices have been mapped to the desired port group.
