Connect Volume to Host Dialog

Overview

This function connects volumes to the host.

Caution

If an error occurs in the job, unused LUN groups may remain.

Check the operation results of the job where the error occurred. If a LUN group is left unused, use Web GUI (Normal View) or CLI to manually delete that LUN group.

Information

If no host affinities are created in the specified host, a new LUN group that has the specified volume as a member is created, and then a host affinity is created between the LUN group and the CA port where the specified host is being connected.
If host affinities have already been created in the specified host, the specified volume is added in the LUN group that is assigned to that host.
Up to eight hosts can be selected at the same time.
If a host that is connecting to a volume for the first time is selected, the host and the CA port of the storage system must be connected in advance.
If an iSCSI host that is connecting to a volume for the first time is selected, advance login to the iSCSI port of the storage system from the host is required. For more details, refer to "Configuration Guide -Server Connection- iSCSI" for each OS type.
To select multiple hosts, the hosts must satisfy the following conditions.
- The host type must be the same.
- The host response must be the same.
- The connection state must be the same.
  - Hosts that are not connected to volumes and host that are connected to volumes cannot be selected at the same time.
  - Hosts with different HLUNs from the connected volumes cannot be selected.
To connect volumes to the host that shares a LUN group with other hosts, all the hosts that share that LUN group must be selected.
Volumes cannot be connected to a host that uses multiple LUN groups.
Web GUI cannot create connections for the following environments. Use ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser to create them.
- Connections used with Storage Cruiser.
- Connections used with VVOLs (VVOL Access Path settings).
