Accessing Information About Host Security Groups
Host Security Groups define which initiators (HBA ports) have access to specified storage volumes.
They are associated with a fibre-channel port and contain a list of HBA port initiators and the
volumes they can detect.
Keep in mind the following:
• Each type of storage system treats host security groups differently. See ” General Provisioning
Issues ” on page 374.
• Not all HDS storage systems support host security groups. Refer to the documentation
accompanying the HDS storage system.
If you use another product to make provisioning changes, you must perform Discovery Data
Collection/Get Detailsfor the management server to be made aware of these changes.
