Defining LU paths
To configure a Fibre Channel environment, complete the following major steps:
1. Find the WWNs of the host bus adapters connected to the Fibre Channel ports.
2. Create host groups (” Creating host groups ” on page 23).
3. Register hosts in host groups (” Registering hosts in host groups ” on page 24).
4. Associate host groups to logical volumes (” Associating host groups to logical volumes ” on page 26).
Creating host groups
You can connect multiple server hosts of different platforms to one port of your disk array. When
configuring the system, you must group server hosts connected to the disk array by host groups. For
example, if HP-UX and Windows hosts are connected to a port, create a host group for each host type.
1. Start LUN Manager, and display the LUN Manager pane ( Figure 7 ).
2. In the LU Path tree, locate the port and verify that LUN security is enabled.
NOTE: If the port icon has a key ( ), LUN security is enabled.
If LUN security is not enabled, right-click the port and select Disable->Enable in the shortcut menu.
3. After LUN security is enabled, right-click the port in the LU Path tree and select Add New Host Group.
The Add New Host Group dialog box appears.

4. In the Group Name box, enter the host group name.
NOTE: It is convenient to name each host group after the host platform. For example, if you are
creating a host group for Windows NT
®
hosts, the host group name could be WNT or WinNT.
Host group names are case sensitive and can have up to 32 characters.
5. In the Host Mode list, select a host mode. Host groups on the same port can have different host modes.
6. If necessary, select Option, and select the host mode options. For detailed information about host mode
options, see Table 9 on page 24.
NOTE: After you select Option, the pane expands to display check boxes. The check boxes are
numbered sequentially from left to right. The left-most check box on the upper row is #0, and the
check box immediately to the right is #1, and so on. The numbers indicate option numbers; select
check box #0 to select option #0.
7. Click OK. The host group name and the host mode appear in blue in the LU Path tree.
8. In the LUN Manager main pane, click Apply. A confirmation message appears.
