NOTE:

You cannot apply XP Secure Manager to NAS ports.

If a port has the External attribute, you cannot apply XP Secure Manager to the port.

If XP Secure Manager is enabled, host groups affect which host can access which LUs. Hosts can only
access LUs associated with the host group the hosts belong to. Hosts cannot access LUs associated
with other host groups. For example, hosts in the hp-ux host group cannot access LUs associated with
the Windows host group. Also, hosts in the Windows host group cannot access LUs associated with
the hp-ux host group.

In

, XP Secure Manager is enabled on port CL1-A. The two hosts in the hp-lnx host group can

only access LUs 00:00, 00:01, and 00:02. The two hosts in the hg-hpux host group can only access
LUs 02:01 and 02:02. The two hosts in the hg-solar host group can only access LUs 01:05 and
01:06.

Usually, you do not need to disable XP Secure Manager on ports. If XP Secure Manager is disabled
on a port, connected hosts can only access LUs associated with host group 0, and cannot access LUs
associated with any other host groups.
