Mapping disks
The Management Server console lets you map a disk from a remote node in a cluster to a local node. You can use the mapped disk like other local storage on the node. In the Management Server Console, you can view the mapped disk like other disks in the local storage list of the node. You can map a disk to multiple remote nodes.
Note: Disk mapping is not persistent across cluster restarts.
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the host or the Server perspective. The permission on the host may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization.
Note: You cannot map disk groups from the Management Server Console. To map disk groups from the command line, see theStorage Foundation Cluster File System Administrator's Guide. Mapping of the disks that are part of a disk group is persistent across cluster restarts.
