The procedure to create an FC host group is as follows:
Procedure
1 Click [Add FC/FCoE Host Group] in [Action].
• Registration of the host is necessary to create a host group. Create a new host group when registering a
host with GUI by using this function.
• A host can be a member of several host groups. However, only one LUN group can be allocated to host
and port combinations when configuring host affinity.
• To assign an appropriate host response to a created host group, refer to "User's Guide -Server Connection-
" for each OS type. The host response configures the operation mode that is appropriate for the host.
If an appropriate host response is not configured to the host group, the path may not be switched
correctly or the volume may not be recognized correctly.
• The host response that is specified for a host group is applied all the member hosts in the target group.
When a host belongs to multiple host groups, the same host response must be applied for all the groups
to which the target host belongs. When a host that already belongs to an existing host group is added to
a newly created host group, the host response of the new host group is applied to the host. The host
response of the existing host group to which the target host belongs is also changed. Refer to "Example
of changing the host response when adding a host group" (page 447) for details.
• The name of the [Add FC/FCoE Host] function, which creates a new FC host group and registers the mem-
ber hosts, has changed with firmware version V10L50. The [Add FC/FCoE Host] function is now called the
[Add FC/FCoE Host Group] function.
• To change the settings of the host groups, use the procedure in "9.2.2.5 Modify Host Group" (page 463).
• To add a port to an existing host group, use the procedure in "9.2.2.5 Modify Host Group" (page 463)
.
• To change the host name or WWN, use the procedure in "9.2.2.15 Modify FC/FCoE Host" (page 507)
.
• An FC host and an FCoE host can be members of the same host group. Both "FC host" and "FCoE host" are
abbreviated as "FC host" in this section.
