Reference Guide

The Command Utility supports the ability to map to a server that is oine. If a server is oine, the volume create command creates a

mapping prole to the down server. The actual mapping is not created until the server is back online. Therefore, validation of server

creation and/or mapping success cannot be determined until the server is back online.

NOTE: To create a new volume and map it to a server, use volume create.

Format

volume map {–deviceid string | –index integer | –name string | –serialnumber string} {–server

string | –serverindex integer} {–boot | –lun} {options}

Options

–boot

If present, designates the mapped volume to be a boot volume. The –boot and –lun options are mutually exclusive. Specifying the –boot

option maps the new volume to lun0. If neither –boot nor –lun option is specied, the next available LUN is automatically assigned

(Storage Center 5.0 and later).

–controller string

Species the name of the controller on which to activate the volume. If omitted Storage Center CU assigns a controller. If specied and the

Storage Center cannot map the volume to the specied controller, Storage Center assigns another controller. If the volume to map has

already been activated on a controller, the –controller option is ignored.

–deviceid string

Species the volume device ID. See About Device IDs for information.

–force

Forces mapping even when another mapping already exists.

–h

Shows help for command options.

–index integer

Species the volume index.

–localport string

Species the world wide name (WWN) of the single local port to use for mapping when the –singlepath option is used. (The –localport

option is deprecated on Storage Center 5.0 and later.)

–lun integer

Species the logical unit number (LUN) for the mapped volume. The –boot and –lun options are mutually exclusive. If neither –boot nor –

lun option is specied, the next available LUN is automatically assigned (Storage Center 5.0 and later). Dell recommends that you allow

LUNs to be automatically assigned to avoid issues with operating systems that require sequential LUN ordering.

–name string

Species the volume name. Names that contain spaces must be enclosed in single quotes.

–readonly

Flag that makes the map read only.

–remoteport string

Species the world wide name (WWN) of the remote port for mapping the volume.

–serialnumber string
