There is a primus solution on this:  emc230604  Remove child Initiator Group(s) from the parent Initiator Group > symaccess -sid xxxx rem -type init -name parent_init_groupx -igchild_init_groupx Set the V flag on the child Initiator Group(s) > symaccess -sid xxxx -name child_init_groupx -type initiator set ig_flags on V -enable Set the V flag on the parent Initiator Group, which may fail due to LUN addresses that conflict with VSA (8-F) being in the Masking View >symaccess -sid xxxx -name parent_init_groupx -type initiator set ig_flags on V -enable Cannot set VSA for an initiator group that already in a masking view with lun assignments that would become illegal Check the Masking View for devices with LUN addresses that conflict with VSA > symaccess -sid xxxx view show Masking_View_Name Remove any devices that conflict with VSA > symaccess -sid xxxx -type stor -name StorageGroup_Name -unmap remove devs xxxx:xxxx Set the V flag on the parent Initiator Group > symaccess -sid xxxx -name parent_init_groupx -type initiator set ig_flags on V -enable Add the devices back to the Storage Group > symaccess -sid xxxx -type stor -name StorageGroup_Name add  devs xxxx:xxxx Add the child Initiator Group(s) back to the parent Initiator Group > symaccess -sid xxxx add -type init -name parent_init_groupx -igchild_init_groupx Review the Masking View to confirm all changes > symaccess -sid xxxx view show Masking_View_Name 
Hi ALL,  I'm trying to setup masking view for  HP-UX cluster. when i tried to create cascaded intiatorgroup with two existing intiator groups i get an error message as  " cannot add the intiator group  to another group becasue once group has VSA while the other does not"  Bit setting on the individual HP-UX server initiator groups are   Common_Serial_Number(C), Volume_Set_Addressing(V), SPC2_Protocol_Version(SPC2), SCSI_Support1(OS2007)   As a temporary solution i created separate masking views and added same devices to their storage group which i dont like to do.  could some one help me fix this configuration issue!!!   Thanks   GK
