Registering Ports in a Host Group

After registering hosts in a host group, you can register ports in the host group to implement port-level security.

To register ports in a host group, you must ensure that Volume Security Port Option is already installed.

If you do not want to implement port-level security, you do not need to register ports in host groups. If no ports are registered in a host group, hosts in the host group can access volumes via every port to which the hosts are connected.

CAUTION:

When you register ports in a host group, it is strongly recommended that you click the Apply button in the Volume Security window at the end of the operation (see the end of the following procedure). If you do not click Apply, registration of ports could be cancelled when an error occurs registering a host group and an LDEV group (see

“Registering a Host Group and an LDEV Group in a Security Group” on page 53).

To register ports in a host group:

1.Ensure that you are in Modify mode.

2.In the Volume Security window (Figure 4), double-click an LDKC number.

3.Right-click a host group. A pop-up menu appears.

4.Select Specify and then Port from the pop-up menu.

The Select Port dialog box (Figure 13) appears and displays a list of ports.

5.From the Port list in the Unregistered port box, select one or more ports via which hosts in the host group should access volumes. Next, click the Regist button.

The specified ports are displayed in blue in the Port list in the Registered port box.

To select all the ports in the Port list in the Unregistered port box, click the Select All button.
