Host Interface Management

The following section describes the series of settings when configuring host connection settings.

1. Add LUN Group

   Add a LUN group (a group of volumes that are recognized from the server). For each LUN group, volume numbers are assigned for the Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs) that are recognized by the host. LUN groups are allowed recognition from the server after host affinity is set.

   Refer to: LUN Group Addition

2. Set Port Parameters

   Set the parameter for the ETERNUS DX side host interface port.

   Refer to: Modify Port Parameters

3. Create CA Port Group

   Create a CA port group (a group of CA ports that are connected to the specified host group) that is used for the server to access the ETERNUS DX.

   Refer to: CA Port Group Creation

4. Set Host Response

   Set the appropriate operation mode on which the host makes connection.

   Refer to: Set Host Response

5. Add Host Group

   Add the information of any server that accesses the ETERNUS DX via the host interface ports.

   When adding a server, create a host group (a host (HBA) group that accesses the same LUN group). In addition, assign a host response when creating a host group.

   Refer to: Host Group Addition

6. Create Host Affinity

   To recognize the LUN group from the server, allocate the host groups with the CA port groups and the LUN groups.

   Refer to: Host Affinity Creation

7. Modify CA Reset Group

   Set member ports for a CA reset group to reduce the effect when ports become inaccessible.

   Refer to: CA Reset Group Settings
