Fibre Channel Initiator Groups

A Fibre Channel initiator group is a collection of one or more initiators, with each initiator having a unique World Wide Port Name (WWPN). Each WWPN represents a single Host Bus Adapter (HBA) port on a Fibre Channel-based client in the form of a Windows server, ESXi or Linux host. Configure Fibre Channel initiator groups on the Nimble array; configure client-side Fibre Channel initiators according to the vendor's recommendations.

Note: By default, Fibre Channel volumes deny access to initiators. To allow initiators in an initiator group to access a volume, you must configure an ACL that includes the desired initiators and attach it to the volume.
