Change in server access control from version 7.0 and earlier

Before release 8.0, you controlled server access to volumes using authentication groups and volume
lists. Starting with release 8.0, you control access with server and volume connections.
With release 8.0 and later, you add each server to a management group and assign server connections
to volumes or snapshots. You can make the assignment from either the volume or the server.
The CMC displays the updated servers feature in management groups running SAN/iQ software
version 7.x and earlier. However, these servers show the IQN number as their name.

Prerequisites

• Each server must have an iSCSI initiator installed.
• The initiator node name, or iqn string, for the iSCSI initiator. See
logy" on page 302.
• To use iSCSI load balancing, you must use a compliant iSCSI initiator. Verify the initiator compliance
by going to the HP StorageWorks P4000 SAN Solutions Compatibility Matrix at
www.hp.com/go/P4000compatibility.
CAUTION:
Using a noncompliant iSCSI initiator with load balancing can compromise volume availability
during iSCSI failover events.
