Registering Volumes in an LDEV Group

After creating an LDEV group, the next step is to register volumes in the LDEV group.

CAUTION:

When registering volumes in an LDEV group, it is strongly recommended that you

click Apply in the Volume Security for Mainframe window, as described in the last step of the
following procedure. If you forget to click Apply, the volumes might be unregistered when you
encounter an error registering the host group and the LDEV group. See Registering a Host Group
and an LDEV Group in a Security Group.

access groups or pool groups. You must classify a security group as an access group if you want
to allow volumes to be accessed only by specified hosts.
