5.5.7 Persistent Device Naming
One of the most powerful benefits of storage area networks
(SANs) is scalability; the freedom to quickly add or delete storage
components. To facilitate trouble-free SAN reconfigurations, the
user can save a list of devices currently connected to the host
adapter. Later, if certain devices are powered off, the adapter will
ensure the remaining devices appear at the same mount point.
Technically, the LSI host adapter will “lock” the association of an
FC target with an alias name reference. The LSI host adapter
manages the details. When the user marks a device persistent,
mapping information is saved on the LSI host adapter in a nonvol-
atile memory device.
The following is an example of how to save devices in the persis-
tent device table using LSI Fcode:
1. Select the controller you want to modify, making a selec-
tion from the list as shown below:
NOTE:
NOTE:
The system must be power-cycled before the changes take
effect. It is not sufficient to execute the reset-all command.
