Create Consistency Group Snapshot Virtual Disk Mapping

Description

This command creates a logical mapping from a consistency group snapshot virtual disk to a host or a host group.

Syntax

create mapping cgSnapVirtualDisk="snapVirtualDiskName" (host="hostName" | hostGroup=("hostGroupName" | defaultGroup))

Parameters

Parameter	Description
`cgSnapVirtualDisk`	The name of the consistency group snapshot virtual disk for which you want to create a logical mapping. Enclose the consistency group snapshot virtual disk name in double quotation marks (" ").
`host`	The name of a host to which you want to create a logical mapping. Enclose the host name in double quotation marks (" ").
`hostGroup`	The name of a host group to which you want to create a logical mapping. Enclose the host group name in double quotation marks (" "). If you use the `defaultGroup` keyword, do not enclose it in quotation marks.

Notes

A host is a computer that is attached to the storage array and accesses the virtual disks on the storage array through the host ports. You can define specific mappings to an individual host. You also can assign the host to a host group that shares access to one or more virtual disks.

A host group is an optional topological element that you can define if you want to designate a collection of hosts that share access to the same virtual disks. The host group is a logical entity. Define a host group only if you have two or more hosts that share access to the same virtual disks.
