Appendix C
Drive Assignment
C.1 Overview
After installing the SSG-136R-N32JBF system, you must assign drives to hosts. This appendix
provides information about drive mappings and procedures for reassigning drives to different
hosts. Refer to the Web GUI or command line interface sections in this appendix for your
preferred procedure.
Physical hosts are represented by "zones" and physical drives are represented by "endpoints."
Familiarity with zones and endpoints is necessary to properly assign drives to hosts. Refer
to the following diagrams for zone-to-host labeling, and refer to Section C.2 for information
about endpoints.
You can assign a drive to a new host by mapping the drive's endpoint to a different zone.
You can do this from the Web GUI or the command line interface. Refer to your preferred
procedure in Section C.3 or Section C.4.
