The management server now uses host security groups instead of LUN masking and LUN mapping.
With the introduction of host security groups, the management server has a new definition of
mapped for this release. Mapped refers to capacity that is accessible by one or more hosts external
to the array (aggregated capacity of volumes that are accessible from hosts external to the
subsystem).
The number of initiators allowed in the host security group depends on the type of storage system:
