Creating an LDEV Group

To specify volumes that should be secured, you must create an LDEV group and then register the
volumes in the LDEV group.

The following procedure explains how to create an LDEV group. For details on how to register volumes
in an LDEV group, see

CAUTION:

When creating an LDEV group, you are strongly recommended to click the Apply button in the Volume
Security window, as described in the last step of the following procedure. If you forget to click Apply,
you might lose the LDEV group when you encounter an error registering the host group and the LDEV
group (see “
