Host modes
The following table lists the host modes that are available for use on the VSP G200, G400, G600 storage system. Carefully review and determine which host modes you will need to use when configuring your system and observe the cautions concerning using certain host modes. Host modes and host mode options must be set on the port before the host is connected. If you change host modes or host mode options after the host is connected, the host (server) will not recognize it.
