Access Logix allows multiple cluster nodes and servers to share a Dell | EMC storage system, restricts server access to
specific volumes on a shared Dell | EMC storage system, and protects your data from unauthorized access. Access Logix is
required when the storage system is connected to two or more clusters, two or more nonclustered systems, or a combination
of both clustered and nonclustered systems.
Using Access Logix, you can partition LUNs in a storage system into RAID groups, and then use storage groups to restrict LUN
access to the assigned hosts. Access Logix is installed on your Dell | EMC storage system when you update the core software
(firmware).
After you update the core software, you can enable Access Control. The default setting is set to Disabled. However, after you
enable Access Control, it cannot be disabled.
Access Logix is not required on all cluster configurations.
