Connected Host access
The
Connected Host access
section lets you configure the option to allow hosts that are connected to the
storage area network (SAN) to provision the storage system directly, without requiring the ADMIN password.
This feature requires compatible storage management software (such as the Nexsan Storage Tools
provisioning application—see
on page 248) to be installed on the host.
This section displays the following information:
Current host trust setting
: The current level at which SAN-connected hosts can access the storage
system without the ADMIN password.

: Select one of four levels:
None

storage.
Limited

have read/write access.
Full
: Hosts can create new volumes, modify volume access rights, and expand or delete any volumes
on the RAID system.
