How to Reserve a Disk for Host Exclusive Use (DiskSuite Tool)

1. Make sure you have met the prerequisites ("Prerequisites for Managing the System") and have read the preliminary information ("Preliminary Information for Reserving and Releasing Disks").

2. Click Disk View.

   The Disk View window appears.

3. Select a controller, tray, or single disk and choose Reserve Disks from the Object menu.

4. A confirmation dialog box appears, indicating the disk reservation. Click OK.

   There is no visual indication that the disk has been reserved. However, if DiskSuite Tool is run on a host other than the host issuing the reserve command, a status of "Reserved" is shown for those disks in the Information window, and a "lock" icon appears in the Disk View canvas.
