Creating a Host Security Group
You cannot assign the host mode for an IBM storage system in the user interface. You must modify
an internal property to set the host mode. See ” Setting the Host Mode for IBM Storage Systems ” on
page 340 for more information.
Keep in mind the following:
• Each storage system handles host security groups differently. See ” General Provisioning Issues ”
on page 340.
• When the Volume Creation and LUN Security option is selected on the System Action menu,
you cannot add a host security group to an Engenio storage system or to any storage system that
Engenio resells under a different brand.
To create a host security group:
1. Select a storage system in the Storage System pane.
2. Click Step 1.
3. Select a host in the Host pane.
4. Click Step 2.
5. Select a port in the LUN pane.
6. Click at the top of the LUN pane.
7. When you are asked to provide a name for the new host security group, type a unique name for
the host security group.
NOTE: You are not asked for the name of the host security group for Symmetrix storage
systems.
Keep in mind the following:
• The name must contain 1 to 50 characters. If you enter no characters, you are given the
option of using a default name.
• The first and last letter cannot be spaces
• You cannot have the following characters in the name:
• <'
