Using RAID Manager 79
RM protection
The RAID Manager protection facility restricts RM volume control
operations to volumes that:
• the host is allowed to see, with or without host-based LUN security
(Secure LUN XP)
• are listed in the RM configuration file.
To avoid inconsistency, RM security cannot be controlled within RM itself.
RM security is determined by command device definition within the SVP,
Remote Console, or via SNMP. Upon definition, the protection facility for
each command device can be enabled by setting an attribute. RM refers to
this attribute when it first recognizes the command device.
Command devices with protection ON permit access to volumes that are
not only on their list of allowed volumes, but are also host viewable.
The following figure shows the definition of a protected (access refused)
volume:
