Disabling LUN security on a port
The Storage Administrator (Provisioning) role is required to perform this task.
CAUTION: Do not disable LUN security on a port when host I/O is in progress.
1. Click Ports/Host Groups in the Storage Systems tree.
2. Select the Ports tab.
3. Select the desired port.
4. Select Edit Ports The Edit Ports window opens.
5. Select the Port Security check box, and then select Disable.
6. Click Finish. If disabling LUN security, a message appears, indicating that only host group 0
(the group whose number is 00) is to be enabled. Clicking OK opens the Confirm window.
7. In the Confirm window, confirm the settings, in Task Name type a unique name for this task
or accept the default, and then click Apply.
If Go to tasks window for status is checked, the Tasks window opens.
Setting fibre channel authentication
When configuring a fibre channel environment, use the Authentication window to set user
authentication on host groups, fibre channel ports, and fabric switches of the storage system.
The hosts to be connected must be configured for authentication by host groups (and for
authentication of host groups by the host, if required). For details on how to configure the host for
CHAP authentication, see the documentation of the operating system and fibre channel driver in
your environment.
The following topics provide information for managing user authentication on host groups, fibre
channel ports, and fabric switches:

User authentication
When configuring a fibre channel environment, use LUN Manager to set user authentication for
ports between the HP XP7 Storage and hosts. In a fibre channel environment, the ports and hosts
use Null DH-CHAP or CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol with a Null
Diffie-Hellmann algorithm) as the authentication method.
User authentication is performed in a fibre channel environment in three phases:
