D.3.8.3 Configuring InfoShield
Once you set up host nicknames, you can easily set up your InfoShield.
This is where you determine which hosts can access each partition
LUN.
You set up InfoShield by either excluding or including hosts on a list for
each partition LUN. The list can include or exclude up to 16 specific
hosts or all hosts for each partition LUN.
The InfoShield information is stored as part of the array’s metadata
using the WWN for each host. If you install a new SM, the array
partition’s InfoShield will remain. The InfoShield will also remain if you
change the partition’s LUN.
NOTE: Changes to InfoShield take effect immediately, therefore, you
should make changes that limit access to partitions when the partitions are
not in use.
To set up InfoShield:
