Initializing host group 0

The Storage Administrator (Provisioning) role is required to perform this task.

Use this procedure to set host group 0 (zero) to its initial state. This removes all the WWNs from host group 0 and also removes all the LU paths related to host group 0. This procedure also changes the host mode of host group 0 to Standard and initializes the host group name. For example, if you initialize host group 0 for the port CL1-A, the name of host group 0 will change to 1A-G00.

To initialize host group 0:

1. Perform one of the following to display the tab.

For Command Suite:

• On the Resource tab, expand the Storage Systems tree. On the target storage system, click Port / Host Group. On the Ports / Host Groups / iSCSI Targets window, select the Host Groups / iSCSI Targets tab.

For Storage Navigator:

• To display all host groups in the storage system, expand the Storage Systems tree and select Ports / Hosts Groups / iSCSI Targets. Select the Host Groups / iSCSI Targets tab.

• To display host groups related to each port, expand the Storage Systems tree and select Ports / Hosts Groups / iSCSI Targets. Select the port in the tree, and select the Host Groups tab.

2. Select the host group 0 which is displayed as host group (00).

3. On the menu bar, click Actions, Ports/Host Groups, Fibre, then Delete Host Groups. Or, click More Actions and select Delete Host Groups from the lower right of the window. The Delete Host Groups window opens.

4. Confirm the settings and enter the task name in the Task Name box.

A task name can consist of up to 32 ASCII characters (letters, numerals, and symbols). Task names are case-sensitive. (date) - (task name) is input by default.

5. Click Apply in the Delete Host Groups window.

A message appears, asking whether to delete it.

If the Go to tasks window for status check box is selected, the Tasks window appears.
