Defining alternate LU paths

The Storage Administrator (Provisioning) role is required to perform this task.

You can want to define alternate LU paths so that if one LU path fails, you is able to switch to its alternate path.

To create an alternate LU path, copy the original LU path from one port to another. For example, To define an alternate for the LU path from the CL1-A port to logical volume 00:00:01, copy the LU path from the CL1-A port to another port.

Use one of these methods to copy LU paths:

• Copy all the LU paths defined in a host group

• Copy one or more (but not all) LU paths defined in a host group

Before taking the following steps:

• See LUN Manager rules, restrictions, and guidelines for important information.

• To define alternate paths when LUN security is disabled, you must redefine the LU path.
