Lun Masking

LUN MASKING USING VCM database

In previous session total 15 devices have been created and are made visible
to hosts through mapping.
Once the Luns are mapped, to enable host to access and perform I/O and
hide the Luns from unwanted hosts, the Luns should be masked.
To mask the Luns, !" database should be created and the information
related to Luns and the hosts should be updated to !" database
#edicate a drive to !" database $In our scenario it is %%%%&

LAB EXERCISE
1& create a command file
'un1( vi m)vcm

6& start vcmdb
(Strictly prohibited to use, it makes all hosts unreachable to storage)
'un1( s)mmask db 0sid .11 init 0f m)vcm
5& List masked devices

;& /efresh the database
'un1( s)mmask refresh
10) !reate an alias to host wwn
2 To check the wwn number of host
'un1( fcinfo or s)mmask list hba
2 To create an alias
'un1(s)mmask 0sid .11 0wwn 1%%%%%%%%%% rename 'un1/port%
2 /efresh the database
'un1( s)mmask refresh
11) !heck the status of ports and enable vcm flag if disabled
'un1( s)mcfg 0sid .11 0v list 2p % 2sa 1c
'un1( s)mcfg 0sid .11 0v list 2p % 2sa .c
'un1( s)mcfg 0sid .11 0v list 2p % 2sa 17c
'un1( s)mcfg 0sid .11 0v list 2p % 2sa 15c

the configuration ,make sure the concerned port is offline, once the configuration
is save, bring the port online
