Preparing mapped volumes for use

After external volumes are mapped to the local storage system, you must prepare the volumes for use.

Before you begin

  • You must have the Storage Administrator (Provisioning) role.

Procedure

  1. The status of the mapped volume automatically becomes Normal. If you need to initialize the data area of the mapped volume, format the volume using Virtual LUN.

  2. For each mapped volume, set an LU path from a target port to the internal volume.

    The LU path enables host I/O to the mapped volume.
