Masking and Mapping Subprofile
CIM API Programming Reference InForm OS Version 2.3.1
5.13.2 Supported Methods
Table 5-52 shows the supported method of the software subprofile:
5.14 Masking and Mapping Subprofile
The Masking and Mapping subprofile is used to determine which LUNs are visible to which
initiators through which target ports. The effect is that a given exported volume is only visible
to specific hosts through specific target ports. Per SMI-S, the ability to limit access is defined as
Device Masking; the ability to specify the device address seen by particular initiators is defined
as Device Mapping. The subprofile also specifies methods to allow administrators to actively
manage (export and delete) LUNs. The 3PAR CIM Server supports the Masking and Mapping
subprofile and allows for both the display and active management of LUNs.
For detailed information regarding the Masking and Mapping subprofile, refer to SMI-S at
