ME5: Docs for Mapping Initiators/Volumes/LUNs...?

I have been reading through the ME5 docs and while I do see the word "mapping" used quite a bit, there is no section specifically for mapping initiators/volumes/LUNs like there is for the ME4. Am I missing something?

Hi,

Deploying ME5 are now quite differently. Here's the deployment guide https://dell.to/4cci7vq and the best practices https://dell.to/4crVJhq.

This would the YouTube video on ME5 iSCSI deployment: https://dell.to/4clX49A

I just wanted to come back and add some more of my own thoughts for future readers. It appears that the section on attaching volumes to hosts in the ME5 Administrator's Guide is more or less what the ME4 docs described as the concept of "mapping". Pretty much like Joey said, the PowerVault manager on the ME5 just handles it a bit differently.

When an attachment is created, the system automatically assigns a unique LUN to the volume, sets default permission access to read-write, and sets port access to all ports. After an attachment is created, you can change the LUN, port access, and access permissions.
