You cannot assign the host mode for an IBM storage system in the user interface. You must modify an internal property to set the host mode. See ”Setting the Host Mode for IBM Storage Systems” on page 340 for more information.
Keep in mind the following:
•Each storage system handles host security groups differently. See ”General Provisioning Issues” on page 340.
•When the Volume Creation and LUN Security option is selected on the System Action menu, you cannot add a host security group to an Engenio storage system or to any storage system that Engenio resells under a different brand.
