Fields

Nickname
Specifies the unique name that you or the system have assigned to the volume group as an identifier. You can change the nickname, limited to 16 characters, as needed. This field must have an entry before you can proceed with any processing.
Accessed by host types
Host Type
Specifies the host type with the operating system. Because a volume group can be assigned to multiple volumes, it is probable that many host types will be displayed. This can occur because the volumes that are assigned to the volume group are all the same block size and capacity.
Block Size
Specifies the volume block size.
Addressing Method
Specifies the behavior of the host port relative to how it identifies the LUNs that are accessible by the host port, Map 256 or Mask.
