Disabling Volume Security

If you follow the procedure below to manipulate a security group, you will be able to disable security
on volumes in the security group. If security is disabled, volumes in the security group are accessible
from all hosts and are usable as secondary volumes (that is, copy destination volumes) for copy
operations, regardless of whether the security group is an access group or a pool group. To restore
security, you can restore it in an easy and simple operation.

If you are sure that you will not need to restore security, you can delete your security group to disable
security. For details on how to delete security groups, see
