Rules for Creating Host Security Groups
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 is 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 HSG depends on the type of storage system:
Table 54 Allowed Initiators in Host Security Groups
Storage System Allowed Initiators in HSGs
EMC CLARiiON 0 or more initiators
Engenio (LSI) 0 or more initiators
HDS 0 or more initiators
HP EVA and MSA 0 or more initiators
IBM only one initiator per host security group
Sun 35xx One initiator per host security group
Sun 6920 and 6940 only one initiator per host security group
Sun 6130 0 or more initiators
Symmetrix one initiator for host security masking
Xiotech 1 initiator
