HP StorageWorks LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP user guide for the XP12000/XP10000/SVS200 (T1714-96008, June 2006)

108 LUN Manager operations
• Host group’s setting in the Port tree: enable ( ) or disable ( )
• Whether or not the user information for the host that attempts to connect is registered on the host group
Table 18 shows the relationship between combinations of host group settings and connection results in
authentication of hosts. Regardless of whether or not the host is configured for authentication by ports with
CHAP, the connection results are as follows, unless otherwise noted.
For more information about authentication of hosts, see ”Authentication of hosts (Fibre Channel
environments)” on page 45.
Settings and connection results in authentication of Fibre Channel switches
During authentication of hosts, the connection result is determined based on the combination of the
following port settings:
• Port’s setting in the Port tree: enable ( ) or disable ( )
• Whether or not the user information for the Fibre Channel switch that attempts to connect is registered
on the port
Table 19 shows the relationship between combinations of port settings and connection results in
authentication of Fibre Channel switches. Regardless of whether or not the host is configured for
authentication by Fibre Channel switches with CHAP, the connection results are as follows, unless
otherwise noted.
