group for Windows hosts. Next, you must register HP-UX hosts to the corresponding host group and
register Windows hosts to the other host group.
The following procedure describes how to create host groups. The procedure for registering hosts to a
host group is described in ” Registering hosts in host groups ” on page 79.
1. Start LUN Manager. The LUN Manager pane ( Figure 14 ) appears.
2. Right-click the port for which you want to create a host group, and select Add New Host Group. The
Add New Host Group pane appears.
NOTE: If you right-click an initiator port, you cannot select Add New Host Group. You cannot
create host groups for initiator ports.

3. In the Group Name box, enter the host group name.
It is convenient if you name each host group after the host platform. For example, when creating a host
group to register Windows NT® hosts in, the host group name can be wnt.
A host group name can consist of up to 32 ASCII characters (letters, numerals, and symbols).
However, you cannot use the following symbols for host group names:
\ / : , ; * ? " < > |
You cannot use spaces for the first and last characters in host group names.
Host group names are case-sensitive. For example, host group names wnt and Wnt represent different
host groups.
4. In the Host Mode list, select a host mode. When selecting a host mode, you must consider the platform
and other factors (see Table 16 ).
CAUTION: Do not select Reserve from the list. Reserve indicates that the host mode is not currently
supported.
5. If necessary, click Option, and select the host mode options. For more information about host mode
options, see Table 17 on page 77.
