Map the Backup LUN

Mapping the backup LUN allows you to associate the LUN to a specific mount point and physical FC port. A backup LUN must be mapped to a mount point and physical FC port before you can create a backup protection plan.

1. In the Oracle MaxRep for SAN GUI, navigate to Settings > Oracle Storage > Toolkit for MaxRep.
2. From the Select MaxRep Option screen, select the Map option, then click Next.
3. From the Select LUNs for Mapping screen, navigate to the Select Oracle Storage menu, and then select the Oracle FS System or the Pillar Axiom system that is hosting the backup LUN.
4. From the Select MaxRep menu, select the Oracle MaxRep Engine to which the backup LUN is mapped.
5. In the LUN list that displays, scroll to the bottom and expand the UnMapped list.
6. Click the check box that is next to the appropriate backup LUN, verify the name and LUN ID (LUID), then click Next.
   Note: If the backup LUN does not display in the LUN list, perform the following actions:
   1. Navigate to the Settings tab and click Manage Oracle Storage.
   2. In the Registered Oracle Storage table, locate the Oracle FS System or Pillar Axiom system that is hosting the backup LUN.
   3. Click the corresponding Re-Discover action.
   4. Wait until the storage rediscovery task completes, and then restart the LUN mapping procedure at Step 1.
7. When the Select Options for Mapping page is displayed, enter the path to the mount point for the backup LUN.
8. Ensure that Map to Physical FC Ports is selected.
   Note: If the backup LUN is not mapped to the physical ports, the backup protection plan will not be created successfully.
9. Click Submit.
