发明名称 Zoning of devices in a storage area network with LUN masking/mapping
摘要 Host port information is pulled directly from the switch before zoning is performed and is organized by chassis as an assist for mapping and masking an entire chassis. A graphical user interface allows a user to select storage by chassis to map and to select servers by chassis to map. The user then applies that mapping such that all servers selected are mapped to all storage selected. The user may repeat this mapping for another set of storage and servers. In a mixed environment, an icon may be shown in the graphical user interface to represent the mix. When the LUN mapping/masking is done, the LUN mapping/masking may be provided to the SAN manager to perform zoning. The LUN mapping/masking defines which host ports see which storage ports.

主权项 1. A method for zoning a storage area network with logical unit number masking/mapping, the method comprising: providing a graphical user interface for performing logical unit number masking/mapping such that a user maps one or more servers to one or more logical volumes at a chassis level to form a logical unit number mapping, wherein providing a graphical user interface further comprises providing a mixed mapping graphical indicator and expanding the mixed mapping graphical indicator such that a user maps one or more servers to one or more logical volumes at a blade level; receiving user input responsive to the graphical user interface that represents a mapping of one or more servers to one or more logical volumes to form a logical unit number, mapping; applying the logical unit number mapping in a storage manager; and automatically zoning the storage area network based on the logical unit number mapping in a storage area network manager.
