Access Gateway mapping

Use the following steps to map one or more devices to an N_Port group or remove device mapping

from an N_Port group.

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.

2. To add one or multiple device WWNs to an N_Port group, enter the ag --addwwnpgmapping

Port_Group command with the “[WWN];[WWN]” option.

All the listed device WWNs will use the least loaded N_Port in the port group when they log in,

unless a specific device mapping can be used instead. This command can only map devices

currently connecting through NPIV.

The following example adds two devices to port group 3.

ag --addwwnpgmapping 3 “10:00:00:06:2b:0f:71:0c;10:00:00:05:1e:5e:2c:11”

To change all currently existing device mappings to a different port group use the --all option

instead of listing all the WWNs.

The following example changes all the currently mapped devices to use port group 3 instead of

the current port group mappings.

ag --addwwnpgmapping 3 --all

3. To remove one or multiple devices to an N_Port group, enter the ag --delwwnpgmapping

Port_Group command with the “[WWN];[WWN]” option.

All the listed devices will stop using the least-loaded N_Port in the group when they log in,

The following example removes mapping for two devices to port group 3.

ag --delwwnpgmapping 3 “10:00:00:06:2b:0f:71:0c;10:00:00:05:1e:5e:2c:11”

To remove all devices mapped to an N_Port group, enter the command with the --all option

instead of listing all WWNs. All of the devices will cease automatic use of the least loaded port

in the port group when they log in. The -all option is a shortcut for specifying all of the devices

that are already mapped with the addwwnpgmapping command.

The following example removes all devices mapped to port group 3.

ag --delwwnpgmapping 3 --all

4. Enter the ag --wwnmapshow command to display the list of WWNs mapped to port groups

and verify that the correct devices have been mapped to the desired port group.
