iSCSI-attached device, you must create a LUN group and assign one or more LUNs to the
LUN group.

LUN groups allow you to organize LUNs and manage access rights to LUN groups. Access
rights are either open or granted through internal CHAP authentication. Access rights apply
to LUN groups, not to individual LUNs. You can easily assign a LUN to a LUN group or move
a LUN from one LUN group to another LUN group.
