You can map external volumes automatically or manually in the Volume Operation
window. For the difference between automatic mapping and manual mapping, see
“Difference between Automatic Mapping and Manual Mapping” on page 30.
5. Perform the following operation according to the emulation type that you set for mapping.
• If you select the emulation type of mainframe, you need to format the volume or perform the
Write to Control Blocks operation using Virtual LVI/LUN (VLL). For the procedure to format
thevolumeand perform the Write to Control Blocks operation, see the HP StorageWorks
XP24000 Virtual LVI/LUN (VLL) and Volume Shredder User’s Guide.
• If you select the emulation type of open-system, you need to define LU paths to a host using
LUN Manager. For the procedure of defining LU paths, see the HP StorageWorks XP24000
LUN Manager User’s Guide.
