Figure 19. MD Storage Manager: Mappings Tab

The Topology pane shows a tree-structured view of virtual disk that are related to the storage

partitions. Click the plus (+) sign or the minus (-) sign adjacent to a node to expand or collapse the

view. Users can right-click a node to open a pop-up menu that contains the applicable actions for

that node. Views include undefined mappings within the storage array as well as the servers

connected to the storage array.

Once a virtual disk is selected, the Defined Mappings pane will provide mapping information

pertinent to that node. By clicking on the storage array for example, the virtual drives associated

with the storage array will be listed as well which hosts they are accessible by. By selecting a host,

the user can also see a list of virtual disks assigned to it.

The user can also create mappings by right-clicking on a virtual disk in the Topology pane and

selecting "Partitioning", which allows them to create mappings via a Wizard and will quickly create

a new single partition. A user can also select "Define Additional Mappings" to define additional

mappings. This step allows the user to map the virtual disk to additional host of host groups in an

existing storage partition.
