Creating Host-to-Virtual Disk Mappings To create host-to-virtual disk mappings: 1 Launch PowerVault MDSM and target the MD storage array you plan to use for your NAS storage. 2 In the Topology pane, expand Default Group and select the host group you created in the previous steps. 3 In the tool bar, select MappingsDefineAdditional Mapping. The Default Additional Mapping window is displayed. 4 In Host group or host, select the host group you created in the previous steps. All defined hosts, host groups, and the default group appear in the list. 5 In the Logical unit number, select a LUN. The supported LUNs are 0 through 255. 6 Select the virtual disk to be mapped in the virtual disk area. The virtual disk area lists the names and capacity of the virtual disks that are available for mapping based on the selected host group or selected host. Only select the virtual disks that were created specifically to be used by the PowerVault NX3500. You must select an even number of virtual disks, up to 16. 7 Click Add. NOTE: The Add button is inactive until a host group or host, LUN, and virtual disk are selected. 8 To define additional mappings, repeat step 4 through step 7. NOTE: After a virtual disk has been mapped once, it is no longer available in the virtual disk area. 9 Click Close. The mappings are saved. The Topology pane and the Defined Mappings pane in the Mappings tab are updated to reflect the mappings. 42 Setting Up Your PowerVault NX3500 Solution

you created in the previous steps.
3
In the tool bar, select
Mappings
Define
Additional Mapping
.
The
Default Additional Mapping
window is displayed.
4
In
Host group or host
, select the host group you created in the previous
steps.
All defined hosts, host groups, and the default group appear in the list.
5
In the
Logical unit number
, select a LUN. The supported LUNs are 0
through 255.
6
Select the virtual disk to be mapped in the virtual disk area.
The virtual disk area lists the names and capacity of the virtual disks that
are available for mapping based on the selected host group or selected
host. Only select the virtual disks that were created specifically to be used
by the PowerVault NX3500. You must select an even number of virtual
disks, up to 16.
7
Click
Add
.
NOTE:
The
Add
button is inactive until a host group or host, LUN, and virtual
disk are selected.
8
To define additional mappings, repeat step 4 through step 7.
NOTE:
After a virtual disk has been mapped once, it is no longer available in
the virtual disk area.
9
Click
Close
.
The mappings are saved. The
Topology
