Enabling/Disabling FC Host Mapping

The Web client Setup - Blade Control screen allows you to enable or disable the optional host mapping feature. This feature is disabled by default.

NOTE: Changing channel zoning setting will cause the affected FC I/O blade to reboot.

NOTE: This operation should not be performed concurrently by multiple administrators logged in from different locations. You can access the appropriate screens, but you cannot apply changes while another administrator is performing the same operation.

You need administrator privileges to enable or disable host mapping.

1. From the Setup menu, select FC I/O Blades > FC I/O Blade Control.

   The Setup - FC I/O Blade Control screen displays. The screen lists all the FC I/O blades found in the library.

2. Do one of the following:
   • To enable host mapping, select the Enable Host Mapping check box.
   • To disable host mapping, clear the Enable Host Mapping check box.
   The Progress Window displays. The Progress Window contains information on the action, elapsed time, and status of the requested operation.
   • If Success displays in the Progress Window, the operation was successful. Click Close to close the Progress Window.
   • If Failure displays in the Progress Window, the operation was not successful. Follow the instructions listed in the Progress Window to resolve any issues that occurred during the operation.
3. Save the library configuration.
