• Host Affinity function
The Host Affinity function sets the "Affinity Group" to be applied for each server. "Affinity
Group" defines the relationship between the host logical units (LUN) and the device logical
volumes. Multiple settings are available.
The Host Affinity function uses the server's World Wide Name (WWN), iSCSI name, or SAS
address to distinguish it from other servers.
Server A
WWN#A
Server B
WWN#B
Server C
WWN#C

When multiple servers access the device using the same port, this assigns Affinity Group for
each server.
