Before you install the FSPM software on a SAN host, you need to delete any SAN host entries that were manually created on the Pillar Axiom system or the Oracle FS System.
During installation, FSPM automatically creates a host entry for the host in the Oracle FS System Services, and associates the host's initiators with that host entry. If you had manually associated any of the host's initiators with a host entry and mapped LUNs to that host, you must delete that host entry before installing FSPM on the host. Since existing LUN mappings are deleted during FSPM installation, you must recreate the LUN mappings after installing FSPM.
Note: References to GUI screens in this section refer to the layout of the Oracle FS System Manager (GUI) version 6.1. Other GUI versions are organized differently, but all versions offer equivalent functionality. Refer to theOracle Flash Storage System Administrator’s Guide for details about how to access the features in older versions of the GUI.
- From the GUI, navigate to .
- Select the host that you want to delete.
- Navigate to .The Delete SAN Host dialog displays.
-
On the Delete SAN Host dialog, make sure Delete mappings and initiators? is not checked. This action saves the associated LUN mappings to the host which FSPM restores as part of the FSPM installation process.
The Delete SAN Host dialog is shown in the following illustration.

You can also delete the SAN host using the Oracle FS CLI. Refer to the Oracle FS CLI Reference Guide for further information.
