Using Spreadsheets for Universal
Volume Manager Operations
To map external volumes, you may want to use spreadsheets instead of the
Storage Navigator graphical user interface (GUI). For example, when you want
to map many external volumes at a time, using the spreadsheets shortens the
operation time compared to when using the GUI. You can import the
spreadsheets directly to the storage system using the Storage Navigator
command line interface (CLI).
The following figure describes the work flow when you use spreadsheets:
