HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP RAID Manager: User’s Guide

LUN visibility from one host configuration

The following figure shows a one host protection mode configuration
sharing one array. Ora1 and Ora2 control operations are rejected because of
no visibility to Grp2 and Grp4 from HOST1. If HOST1 uses a command
device with protection set to OFF at creation time, then Ora1 and Ora2
volume pairs can be controlled.

CM* represents a command device with protection ON.

Protection is implemented completely within RM. If RM uses a command
device with protection enabled, RM will check permissions on all paired
volumes with which it deals.
