Clearing user information from a host group

You can clear user information from a host group.

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