is a collection of topological elements, such as default , , , and , that appear as nodes in the Topology pane of the Mappings tab. You must define the various topological elements if you want to define specific for host groups, hosts, or both.
Note:
Even if you do not plan to use Storage Partitioning, you still can define hosts and HBA host ports connected to the . You also can view the default mappings to determine which logical unit numbers are being used to access the in the storage subsystem.You must define these key topological elements to create a storage partition:
Note:
Define a host group only if you have two or more hosts that will share access to the same logical drives.Any HBA host port in the Default Group can automatically access these logical drives:
A storage partition topology is reconfigurable. You can perform these tasks:
