Creating host groups
You can connect multiple server hosts of different platforms to one port of your disk array. When
configuring the system, you must group server hosts connected to the disk array by host groups. For
example, if HP-UX and Windows hosts are connected to a port, create a host group for each host type.
1.
In the LU Path tree, locate the port and verify that LUN security is enabled.
NOTE:
If the port icon has a key ( ), LUN security is enabled.
If LUN security is not enabled, right-click the port and select LUN Security: OFF->ON in the shortcut
menu.
2.
After LUN security is enabled, right-click the port in the LU Path tree and select Add New Host Group.
The Add New Host Group dialog box appears.
