Enabling LUN security on a port
To protect mission-critical data in your storage system from illegal access, secure the logical volumes
in the storage system. Use LUN Manager to secure LUs from illegal access by enabling LUN security
on ports.
By default, LUN security is disabled on each port. When registering hosts in multiple host groups,
you must enable LUN security (set the switch to enabled). When you change LUN security from disabled
to enabled, you must specify the WWN of the host bus adapter.
CAUTION:
Although you can enable LUN security on a port when host I/O is in progress, I/O is rejected with
a security guard after enabling. To prevent this, enable LUN security on each port when configuring
your storage system.
