Mappings Configuration
The Device Mapping page allows you to map or assign DX-Series virtual
devices (robot and tape drives) to specific Fibre Channel ports. The
default setting for both the DX30 and DX100:
• Port 5 is assigned the robot and tape drives 0 through 2.
• Port 6 is assigned tape drives 3 through 5.

There are two ways to assign virtual devices to a specific Fibre Channel
port:
a
Click
Auto Populate
to allow the DX-Series controller to automatically
assign virtual devices to a Fibre Channel port. The controller assigns
a robot and partition to each port.
Example: A system with 1 partition would have a robot assigned to
LUN 0 and all other devices within that partition assigned to
additional LUNs on that port.
b
Use the drop down boxes located under the port number to select the
devices mapped to that port. Do NOT assign the same device to more
than one port unless your backup application can support multiple
mappings of the same device to more than one port.
Example: Assign the robot and tape drives 0 and 1 to port 5. From the
host, only the robot and tape drive 0 and 1 are visible from port 5.
Assign tape drive 2 and 3 to port 6. Only tape drive 2 and 3 are visible
from port 6.
