Managing Host Groups
A host group is a logical entity of two or more hosts that share access to specific virtual disks on the storage array. You
create host groups using the MD Storage Manager.
All hosts in a host group must have the same host type (operating system). In addition, all hosts in the host group must
have special software, such as clustering software, to manage virtual disk sharing and accessibility.
If a host is part of a cluster, every host in the cluster must be connected to the storage array, and every host in the
cluster must be added to the host group.
