7.4.1.2
Configuring Individual Device Paths
Perform the following steps to set device path visibility to the operating system.
NOTE: There must be one visible path for the operating system to see the device.
1. From the Fibre Channel Port Configuration dialog box, right-click in the cell
in the HBA Port n column.
2. From the pop-up menu, select one of the available options:
❑
Select Set Visible to set this path as visible by the operating system during
the boot process.
❑
Select Set Unconfigured to set this path as not visible by the operating
system.
3. If setting the path has caused the LUNs associated with this device to have an
invalid configuration, the modify LUN configuration message displays. When
the problem occurs, it usually results from changing a device to or from the
unconfigured state. You need to modify the LUN configuration for this device
before the configuration can be saved or applied. Click
OK .
7.4.2
Configuring LUN Masking for this Host
You can configure LUN masking—set LUNs as masked or unmasked from the
operating system. Enabling a LUN sets the LUN as unmasked; disabling a LUN
sets the LUN as masked.
Use the following options as appropriate:
■
Enabling and disabling all LUNs (see section 7.4.2.1)
■
Configuring LUN paths and LUN masking for a device (see section 7.5)
