The management server now uses host security groups instead of LUN masking and LUN mapping.
With the introduction of host security groups, the management server has a new definition of
mapped for this release. Mapped refers to capacity that is accessible by one or more hosts external
to the array (aggregated capacity of volumes that are accessible from hosts external to the
subsystem).
The number of initiators allowed in the host security group depends on the type of storage system:
Table 137 Allowed Initiators in Host Security Groups
Storage System Allowed Initiators in Host Security Groups
EMC CLARiiON 0 or more initiators
LSI 0 or more initiators
HDS 0 or more initiators
HP EVA 0 or more initiators
HP MSA 1 initiator
IBM Only 1 initiator per host security group
Sun 35xx 1 initiator per host security group
Sun 6920 and 6940 Only 1 initiator per host security group
Sun 6130 0 or more initiators
Symmetrix 1 initiator for host security masking
Xiotech 1 initiator
