Changing the name and host mode of a host group

Before changing the host mode of a host group, back up the data on the host group’s port. The operation

for changing host mode should not be destructive, but data integrity cannot be guaranteed without a

backup.
To change the host mode for host group 0, port security can be enabled or disabled. For all other host

groups, you must enable port security before changing the host mode.

1.

Start LUN Manager, and display the LUN Manager pane (
