Description

A storage view is a logical grouping of front-end ports, registered initiators (hosts), and virtual volumes used to map and mask

LUNs. Storage views are used to control host access to storage.

For hosts to access virtual volumes, the volumes must be in a storage view. A storage view consists of:

● One or more initiators. Initiators are added to a storage view using the export storage-view addinitiatorport

command.

● One or more virtual volumes. Virtual volumes are added to a storage view using the export storage-view

addvirtualvolume command.

●

One or more front-end ports. Ports are added to a storage view using the export storage-view addport command.

CAUTION: The name assigned to the storage view must be unique throughout the metro node. In metro node

Metro configurations, the same name must not be assigned to a storage view on the peer cluster.

Use the ll clusters/*/exports/storage-views command to display the names of existing storage views

before assigning a name.

Example

Create a view named E_209_view for front-end ports A0 and B0:

VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-1/exports/storage-views> storage-view create --cluster /

clusters/cluster-1 --name E_209_View --ports P000000601610428F-A0-FC00,P000000601610672E-

B0-FC00

VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-1/exports/storage-views> storage-view create -c cluster-1/ -n

test -p P0000000046653D11-ETH06/ P0000000046653D11-ETH07/
