Changing the Name or Host Mode of a Host Group
Use LUN Manager to change the name or host mode of a host group. You cannot perform this
operation on host groups for initiator ports.
CAUTION:
Before you change the host mode of a host group, HP recommends that you first back
up the data on the port to which the host group belongs. The operation for setting the host mode
is not destructive, but data integrity cannot be guaranteed without a backup.
To change the name and/or the host mode of a host group:
1.
Start LUN Manager and display the LUN Manager window (
).
2.
In the tree, select and right-click the host group.
3.
Select Change Host Group from the pop-up menu.
The Change Host group dialog box (
) appears.
4.
Do either of the following:
•
If you want to change the name of the host group, enter a new name in the Group Name
box.
•
If you want to change the host mode, select the new host mode from the Host Mode list.
When selecting a host mode, you must consider the platform and some other factors (see
for details).
CAUTION:
•
Do not select Reserve from the list. Reserve indicates that the host mode is not currently
supported.
•
If the microcode version is updated to 60-08-0X-XX/XX or later, Reserve is not displayed
in the drop-down list. If you set the system option mode 847 to ON, Reserve can be
displayed in the drop-down list. For details about changing the system option mode, see
5.
If necessary, click the Option button and then select host mode options (see
). For
detailed information about host mode options, see
.
6.
Click the OK button to close the dialog box.
The changes are indicated in blue in the tree.
7.
Click the Apply button in the LUN Manager window.
A message appears and asks if you want to apply the setting to the storage system.
8.
Click the OK button to close the message.
The changes to the host group name and the host mode are applied to the storage system.
