 NoVCN: Do not issue a VLUN (Virtual Logical Unit Number) Change Notification (VCN) after
export. For direct connect or loop configuration, a VCN consists of a fibre channel Loop
Initialization Primitive (LIP). For fabric configuration a VCN consists of Registered State
Change Notification (RSCN) being sent to the fabric controller. This parameter is a vendor-
specific extension for 3PAR. The default value is false.
 ResultDescriptions[]: An array of descriptive text of the result of the operation, with each
entry containing the result of each expose path operation. This parameter is a vendor-
specific extension for 3PAR.
Parameters “
Override” and “NoVCN” are optional. All other combinations of the parameters
are rejected.
There are two use cases of
ExposeLUsToStorageHardwareIDCollection() method (See
Table 5-62 on page 5.120).
1 Creating a new default view: export a list of volumes to all host HBAs on a host
regardless of which target ports they are connected to. For release 2.2.4 and before, this
can only create a “host-sees” VLUN. For release 2.3.1, this creates host-sees VLUN if
TargetPortLPIDs is NULL, or matched-set VLUN if TargetPortLPIDs is specified. This
case is indicated by NULL input ProtocolController parameter.
