Enabling LUN security on a port

One of the following roles is required to perform this task:

Storage Administrator (System Resource Management)

Storage Administrator (Provisioning)

To protect mission-critical data in your storage system from illegal access, secure the logical volumes in the storage system. Use LUN Manager to secure LUs from illegal access by enabling LUN security on ports.

By default, LUN security is disabled on each port. When registering hosts in multiple host groups, you must enable LUN security (set the switch to enabled). When you change LUN security from disabled to enabled, you must specify the WWN of the host bus adapter.

It is best to enable LUN security on each port when configuring your storage system. Although you can enable LUN security on a port when host I/O is in progress, I/O is rejected with a security guard after enabling.
