Duplicating and importing mappings Volumes that are assigned to one host can be quickly and easily mapped to another host  object. You might make this assignment, for example, when replacing an aging host’s  hardware and want to ensure that the replacement host node can access the same set of  volumes as the old host. You can accomplish this process in two ways: by duplicating the mappings on the existing  host object to the new host object, or by importing the host mappings to the new host. To  duplicate the mappings, complete the following steps: 1. To duplicate an existing host mapping, select the host that you want to duplicate and click  Actions  Duplicate Volume Mappings  (see Figure 8-35). In our example, we duplicate  the volumes that are mapped to host  ITSO-VMHOST-01  to the new host  ITSO-VMHOST-02 . Figure 8-35 Duplicate Host Volume Mappings menu  Chapter 8. Hosts  351
