Identifying the Hosts that can Access a Logical Drive

In most SAN configuration, each logical drive belongs to a host group whose host members are the only ones authorized to access the logical drive. This is called logical drive masking. For each logical drive, the solution displays its World Wide Name (WWN), the storage group to which it belongs to as well as the host member of this group. In most cases, identifying the storage group of a LUN is sufficient to recognize the server that is using it.

To quickly identify which hosts can access a LUN, expand the LUNs object in the PATROL Console, right-click the LUN you are interested in and select Infobox.
