Creating a VDisk-to-host mapping

You can create a new mapping between a virtual disk (VDisk) and a host from the Creating Virtual Disk-to-Host Mappings panel.

This task assumes that you have already launched the SAN Volume Controller Console.

Complete the following steps to create a new mapping:

In the portfolio, click Work with Virtual Disks > Virtual Disks. The Viewing Virtual Disk panel is displayed.
Select the VDisk to map to your host and select Map VDisks to a Host from the list. Click Go. The Creating Virtual Disk-to-Host Mappings panel is displayed.
Select the host that you want to map the VDisk to and click OK.

After you have mapped VDisks to hosts, discover the disks on the host machine. This step requires accessing the host system and using the host system utilities to discover the new disks that are made available by the SAN Volume Controller. You also have the option of creating a file system for those new disks. Consult your host system documentation for more information on completing this task.
