The correct sequence of steps to map a volume to a host using the XtremIO WebUI is:

Select the volume.

Select an initiator group.

Assign a LUN number.

Click ‘Create/Modify Mapping’.

View/verify the results.

To map a volume to a host in the XtremIO WebUI, you would follow these steps:

Select the volume: Navigate to the volume you wish to map and select it. This is the first step because you need to specify which volume you’re working with.

Select an initiator group: Choose the initiator group that corresponds to the host to which you want to map the volume. An initiator group contains one or more initiators that uniquely identify the host in the storage environment.

Assign a LUN number: Specify a Logical Unit Number (LUN) for the volume in this mapping. The LUN is an identifier for the volume in the context of the host to which it’s being mapped.

Click ‘Create/Modify Mapping’: After selecting the volume, initiator group, and assigning a LUN, you’ll execute the command to create the mapping by clicking this button.

View/verify the results: Finally, check the mapping to ensure that it has been successfully created and is functioning as expected.

This sequence of steps ensures that the volume is properly configured and connected to the host, allowing for efficient data management and access within the Dell XtremIO storage system.

7 Days:Given that 500 production volumes must be backed up four times a day using XtremIO’s Protection Copies feature, the system can store the read-only volumes for approximately 7 days before the oldest backups are deleted.

This calculation ensures that the array’s capacity is used efficiently while adhering to the backup policy requirements.
