Initiator groups not showing on both filers

i just happened to notice that my two fas3270 filers are showing different initiator groups for LUNS. I thought that if you created them on one filer they would also show on the other?

No, that's incorrect. igroup is local to each filer. In HA pair filers try to verify that the same LUN is not accidentally mapped to the same ID for the same initiator in different igroups, but that's the only dependency.

Thank you. I guess because i name my igroups the same on both filers it just appears as if they are replicating to each other. I will make note to always make sure my LUN IDs are different. Thank you for the response.
