Manage Initiators
In a HP VMA Memory environment, the hosts (such as database servers or application servers) that
access LUNs are called
initiators and the SAN Gateways are referred to as targets. You can control
access to LUNs on an initiator-by-initiator basis, as well as by defining initiator groups (igroups).
Using the Web Interface, you can easily create initiator groups and assign a group to a host.
Note: Check with your network administrator before adding initiator hosts in the Advanced panel to
verify the correct addresses for the hosts.
Creating and Deleting Initiator Groups
You can create and delete Initiator groups from the Manage > Manage Initiators page of the Web
Interface. A list of initiator groups is shown in the left panel, with a list of available sessions shown
in the right panel for the highlighted initiator group. You can define sessions that may not yet be
connected to the network using the Advanced panel
To create an initiator group, do the following:
1. Select Manage > Manage Initiators. The Initiator Management page appears.
2. Click Add igroup.
The New Initiator Group dialog appears.
3. Enter a name in the New Initiator Group dialog and click OK. The new group appears in the
Initiator Group table.
