Creating host groups (when configuring Fibre Channel environments)

You can connect multiple server hosts of different platforms to one port on the array. When configuring
the system, you must group server hosts connected to the array by host groups. For example, if HP-UX
and Windows hosts are connected to a port, you must create one host group for HP-UX hosts and
another host 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
