Host modes for host groups
The following table lists the host modes that are available for use on the P9500 storage system.
Carefully review and determine which host modes you will need to use when configuring your
system and observe the cautions concerning using certain host modes. Host modes and host mode
options must be set on the port before the host is connected. If you change host modes or host
mode options after the host is connected, the host (server) will not recognize it.
