Importing storage port mapping
14
4. Click Open on the Import dialog box.
The file imports, reads, and applies all changes line-by-line and performs the following:
•
Checks for correct file structure (first entry must be the storage node name (WWN) and
second entry must be the storage array name), well formed WWNs, and counts number of
errors
If more than 5 errors occur, import automatically cancels. Edit the storage port mapping
file and try again.
•
Checks for duplicate storage ports (the same storage port mapped to more than one
storage array)
If duplicates exist, a message displays with the duplicate mappings detailed. Click Yes to
continue. Click No to edit the storage port mapping file and try again.
•
Checks if mapping exists in current map
If mappings already exist, a message displays with the current mapping information. Click
Yes to overwrite the current mapping. Click Yes to All to overwrite all mapping conflicts.
Click No to leave the current mapping. Click No to All to leave all current mappings when
conflict occurs. Click Cancel to cancel the import.
When import is complete a result summary displays with the following information ( “Import
Results” on page 566).
