Registering Hosts in Host Groups

To set LU paths, you must register hosts in host groups. For example, if HP-UX hosts and Widows
hosts are connected to a port, you must register HP-UX hosts and Windows hosts separately in two
different host groups.

When registering a host, you are requested to specify the WWN of the host bus adapter. If you
are unsure of WWNs of your host bus adapters, see

(page 30)

.

When you register hosts in multiple host groups, you must set the security switch (LUN security) to
ON. When you set the security switch to ON, you must specify the WWN of the host bus adapter.

When registering a host, you can assign a nickname to the host bus adapter. If you assign a
nickname, you will be able to easily identify each host bus adapter in the LUN Manager window.
Although WWNs are also used to identify each host bus adapter, the nickname that you assign
will be more helpful because you can name host bus adapters after the host installation site or the
host owners.
