5. If necessary, check Apply same settings to the HBA WWN in all ports.
If checked, new settings affect other ports. For example, if the same host bus adapter (the
same WWN) is located below ports CL1-A and CL2-A in the tree,when you select the host
bus adapter (or the WWN) from below one of the ports and change the nickname to hba1,
the host bus adapter below the other port will also be renamed hba1.
However, new settings will not affect any port if:
•
The resulting nickname is already used as the nickname of a host bus adapter connected
to the port, or
•
The resulting WWN exists in the port.

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 can change only the
host mode option of the host group for the initiator port. You cannot use this procedure on the host
group for the external port.
CAUTION: Before changing the host mode of a host group, you should back up data on the port
to which the host group belongs. Setting host mode should not be destructive, but data integrity
cannot be guaranteed without a backup.

Initializing host group 0
Use this procedure to set host group 0 (zero) to its initial state. This removes all the WWNs from
host group 0 and also removes all the LU paths related to host group 0. This procedure also changes
the host mode of host group 0 to Standard and initializes the host group name. For example, if
you initialize host group 0 for the port CL1-A, the name of host group 0 will change to 1A-G00.
