Registering a Host Group and an LDEV Group in a Security Group

Now that you have classified your security group as an access group, your next (and the last) task is
to register your host group and LDEV group into the security group. When you finish registration, the
volumes in the LDEV group are secured and can only be accessed by hosts in the host group. Other
hosts cannot access the volumes.

To register a host group and an LDEV group into a security group:

1.

Right-click a security group.
A pop-up menu appears.

Select Specify and then Security Group from the pop-up menu.
The Specify Security Group dialog box (

) appears.

5.

Use the Select Security Group drop-down list to select the security group in which you want to
register a host group and an LDEV group.

6.

Use the Host Group drop-down list to select the host group that you want to register in the security
group.

7.

Use the LDEV Group drop-down list to select the LDEV group that you want to register in the se-
curity group, and then click OK.

8.

Click Apply in the Volume Security window (

Figure 4

).

A message appears and asks if you want to apply the settings to the storage system.
