14. Use the checkboxes to set one DPM in the DPM group as primary and one DPM as secondary.
NOTE:
• If another host that is connected to the domain through DPMs already has permission
to access the VDG and you configure different primary and secondary settings for the
new host, VSM overrides your selection and applies the current settings used by the
VDG. This minimizes failover transitions for the VDG members. VSM presents the VDG
members to the new host through the DPM that is currently active for other hosts. Primary
and secondary DPM settings are always identical for all members of a VDG.
• Use care in selecting the primary and secondary DPMs to prevent over subscribing one
and under utilizing the other.
• If you click Finish without defining the primary and secondary DPMs, VSM defines these
roles automatically.
15. Click Next. A confirmation screen appears.

18. When you are sure that you want to perform the operation described in the confirmation screen,
click Finish. The host permission is added to the VDG.
