Selective Storage Presentation (SSP) | ![]() |
For links and interfaces common to all Configuration Wizards links, please see Wizards Overview in ACU help. Note: The Selective Storage Presentation link option will only be available for controllers that support it. ![]() Warning: Logical drives should not be accessed by more than one server running an operating system that was not designed to share logical drives. Consult your operating system documentation for more information. Selective Storage Presentation (SSP) allows logical drives on an array controller to be shared by multiple servers. A server connects to the array controller by using a host controller that is installed in the server. SSP allows users to name connections from host controllers to array controllers, and it allows users to grant or deny access to connections for each logical drive. SSP is currently only supported for fibre channel controllers. Depending on the type of array controller you have, SSP can either be enabled/disabled on a logical drive basis or on a controller basis. Note: If a controller that previously had SSP enabled for any Host Bus Adapter(HBA) then has all of its logical drives that were selected to grant access deleted, and this state is successfully saved, SSP will automatically be disabled for that controller. RAID Array 4x00 Controllers All Remaining Controllers Disable Enable If you have chosen to Enable SSP you will have the option to set SSP access settings for the logical drive and rename connections. This screen allows you to set up Connection Names for all connections from servers to the array controller. Type in the connection name you want in the appropriate text box. Renaming a connection will name that connection for all logical drives on the controller. Also, this screen allows you to select which connections will have access to the logical drive. Check the connections to grant the connections access to the logical drive. Uncheck the connections to deny the connections access to the logical drive. If you uncheck all connections, the logical drive will be not be accessible. This screen displays the following details about the connections:
