I need to assign some LDEVs to a mainframe system but those LDEVs must be on an specific SSID, then I have to change that SSID for the CU of those LDEVs.
How can I do that in a Hitachi VSP G1000 system?

Yes Dang you're right. I'm following those steps but, when I try to change the SSID for any CU (Completely empty) the system shows a message like the SSID can't be changed. In the column shows, unavailable permission to change the SSID, then how can I set this parameter?
Thanks, and I'll wait your comments.
Hi Alejandro,
Does your account have the Storage Administrator (Provisioning) role? Can you please take a screenshot so I can get a better idea of the problem?

I'm out of the client site, but I'll try to get this screen shot tomorrow and I'll send you a new message. Thanks alot for all your support.
Hi Dang, here is the error shows when I try to change the SSID for any CU.
Remember I need to change the SSID for CU: 10, 11, 12, 13, 14
Those CU are completely empty.
Thanks.
Hi Alejandro,
In your screenshot, what is the LDEV ID of the selected volume? Is it 00:10:xx?
Try this:
- Go to Create LDEVs
- Click on View SSIDs. Does any of the CUs that you want to change have a blank field under SSID? If they don't, you won't be able to change the SSIDs. If they do, continue to next step.
- We'll take CU 00:10:xx for example. Click the CU dropdown and change that to 10.
- Click Add.
- Select the volumes and then click Edit SSIDs.
- You should be able to change the value now.
Let me know if this works.

Hi Dang
I tried to do this, but all the CU are empty and already have SSID assigned by default. Here is the list.
Based on this, what would be the procedure for changing these SSID of the CU that are completely empty?
If I install a new RG in a CU that is empty and created a LDEV in the CU and then uninstall the RG, that CU loses the SSID and I could place a new SSID?
Hi Alejandro,
I can't say if what you proposed will work because I haven't done it before. I have seen from previous experience is that when you're creating a new RG with some volumes in the SVP, the system will prompt you to select a CU for the new volumes and allow you to enter a SSID for the CU.
Sorry I can't provide any more details. All of my experience is with open systems which don't require the use of SSIDs.

OK Dang, no problem.I'll let you know when I have an answer.

Dear Alejandro,
You can only change the SSID for an empty CU. It's done through Storage Navigator when you're creating new volumes. Please see the document Provisioning Guide for Mainframe Systems, section Editing an LDEV SSID.
