Remote Host Mapping
The RemoteHostMapping page allows you to view information about existing host access groups. You
can also add or edit groups, and delete groups.
Host access groups allow backup hosts to access virtual devices on a DXi6900. A host access group is
associated with a partition, a host (a Fibre Channel initiator on the SAN), and a target (a Fibre Channel port
on the DXi6900). This association allows the host to access one or more devices in the partition using
different host LUNs on the port. To allow multiple hosts to access devices that belong to the same partition,
you must create separate host access groups for each host.
To access the RemoteHostMapping page, on the RemoteHostAccess page, click the RemoteHost
Mapping tab (see Figure 149 below).
