Changing host user information registered on a host group

You can change the registered user name or secret of a host, and enable and disable authentication settings after registration.

Device Manager - Storage Navigator secondary windows must be defined for use in advance. When you select Modify from the Authentication secondary window to change host user information, other users or programs are prevented from changing storage system settings. When you close the secondary window, Modify mode is released. For more information about Device Manager - Storage Navigator secondary windows and Modify mode, see the System Administrator Guide.

You cannot change the WWN when you change user information.
