Provisioning Storage Access in the SAN
Storage access consists of zone provisioning and storage selective LUN presentation, each of which is commonly provisioned
per initiator WWPN. Two main paths are available for approaching storage access:
Pre-Provisioning
CTRL+R Method
Pre-Provisioning
With pre-provisioning, note the initiator WWPN and manually modify fabric zoning and storage selective LUN presentation to
allow the appropriate access for the initiator.
The initiator WWPN can be seen at the bottom of the screen in the FCoE boot target configuration window.
The initiator WWPN can also be directly inferred from the FIP MAC address associated with the interface(s) planned for boot.
Two MAC addresses are printed on stickers attached to the SFP+ cage on your adapter. The FIP MAC ends in an odd digit.
