LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP user guide for the XP1024/XP128 31
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 eight characters.
4. In the Host Mode list, select a host mode. Host groups on the same port can have different host modes.
5. If necessary, select Option, and select the host mode options. For detailed information about host
mode options, see Table 10 .
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.
6. Click OK. The host group name and the host mode appear in blue in the LU Path tree.
7. In the LUN Manager main pane, click Apply. A confirmation message appears.
8. Click OK. The settings are applied to the disk array.
The next step is to register hosts to the appropriate host group.
CAUTION: Do not select options other than those listed in Table 10 .
Registering hosts in host groups
Before you can set LU paths, you must register hosts in host groups. For example, if HP-UX and Windows
hosts are connected to a port, you must register them separately in two different host groups.
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 main pane. Although
WWNs (or iSCSI names) are also used to identify each host bus adapter, a nickname is more helpful
because you can name host bus adapters after the host installation site or the host owners.
When using nicknames, note the following:
• A nickname can consist of up to eight ASCII characters (letters, numerals, and symbols). You cannot
use the following characters for nicknames:
