V7000 Host groups and aliases

The V7000 doesn't have host groups or wwpn aliases. Currently you can create a host and assign wwpns to it, then map luns to the host. First off it would be nice to provide a human readable alias for each wwpn, so it's easy to now which is which. Secondly it would be nice to be able to group hosts together into host groups so that you could map luns once to the group.

    This request is well understood and is being closed as a duplicate of a prior request. As an interim solution, we highly recommend you read this solution for "Host Groups" described in Q2 on this page:https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/IBM%20SmartCloud%20Virtual%20Storage%20Center/page/Ask%20HOW

    Hello developers,
    I agree with requested. It is very important feature. I'm installing and managing storwize arrays and I need it also :-) In banks we have a lots of clusters servers etc. and working with group and assign lun to group is very comfortable for storage admins. Now it is a little bit [Deleted].
