cluster Object name Cluster name. N N/A
vol Object name Volume name. Y N/A
lun Integer LUN identifier. Y N/A
override Boolean Override existing
mapping. N no
This command maps a volume to a host or to a cluster. It maps the volume to all
the hosts that are contained in the cluster.
The command fails if:
v
The host specified is contained in a cluster (must be done through the cluster)
v
Another volume is mapped to the same LUN for this cluster/host, and the
override
parameter is not specified.
– If the
override
parameter is specified, the mapping is replaced, so the host
(or all hosts in the cluster) see continuous mapping of volume to this LUN,
only that the content is changing (and maybe size).
v Mapping to a cluster, if the LUN was defined as an exception.
– Whenever the LUN is defined as an exception, you have to map it directly to
the host.
