LUN security on ports

To protect mission-critical data in your storage system from illegal access, apply security policies to logical volumes. Use LUN Manager to enable LUN security on ports to safeguard LUs from illegal access.

If LUN security is enabled on ports, host groups affect which host can access which LUs. Hosts can access only the LUs associated with the host group to which the hosts belong. Hosts cannot access LUs associated with other host groups. For example, hosts in the hp-ux host group cannot access LUs associated with the windows host group. Also, hosts in the windows host group cannot access LUs associated with the hp-ux host group.
