Moving a Host Port

Use this option if you are going to move a host adapter (host port ) from one host to another host.

Important:

Procedure

1

From the Mappings Window, select a host port in the Topology View; then select either the Configure >> Topology >> Move Host Port pull-down menu option, or Move Host Port from the right-mouse pop-up menu.

Result: The Move Host Port dialog is displayed. The Host Port name and Host port identifier (worldwide name) are listed on the dialog.

Example: You want to move the host port St. Louis A1 from host St. Louis A to host St. Louis B. You selected the host port St. Louis A1 under the host St. Louis A.

2

Select the desired Host from the Host name drop-down list box. The list displays an alphabetical list of all defined hosts.

Example: You select St. Louis B.

3

Select OK.

Result: The changed host port-to-host definition is saved and the dialog closes. The host port (in our example, St. Louis A1) is removed from the previous host (St. Louis A) and is now displayed under the new host (St. Louis B). The host port inherits the logical drive-to-LUN mappings of St. Louis B.

Note: If the host port was the only port listed under the previous host, the previous host is still displayed in the Topology View and retains its current logical drive-to-LUN mappings. However, these logical drive-to-LUN mappings will be inaccessible until you redefine at least one associated host port for this host.
