Registering Hosts to be Attached to the Storage System

If your organization is planning to attach new mainframe hosts to the storage system, you will
possibly need to revise security settings on volumes. For example, if you do not want to allow the
new hosts to access some volumes, you might need to register the new hosts in the host group in
an existing access group. Volume Security for Mainframe enables you to register new hosts in host
groups before the new hosts are attached with cables to the storage system.

1.

Execute the following system command at the mainframe host:

D M=CPU

This command displays the type, the model number, the node ID, and the logical partition
number of the host. Record this information.

For more information on this command, refer to the documentation on system commands.
