Editing the host mode and host mode options

Manage your host group information by editing the host mode and host mode options after the volumes
have been allocated.

You can edit host group information (host group name, host mode, and host mode options) for an
existing host group by editing its LUN paths when a host, to which volumes are allocated, has been
added to a host cluster. You can verify host mode option IDs when host group information is being
edited or when new volumes are allocated.

TIP:

In addition to when you are editing LUN paths, you can also edit host group information when
allocating volumes, allocating like volumes, and defining clustered-host storage.

Prerequisites
