Abstract
Masking information may be automatically determined for a host after zoning between the host and data storage system is complete. Processing may include the host sending host registration commands from host initiators. From registration information provided with the host registration commands, an initiator group may be determined for the masking view as including the initiators identified as belonging to the host. A port group may be determined as those target ports at which the host registration commands are received. A default storage group with a default device may be created. A masking view for the host may be created that includes the initiator group, the target port group and the default storage group whereby the masking view indicates that the first device is accessible or exposed, through each target port of the target port group, to each initiator of the initiator group.
