portset - Commands for managing portsets
portset command argument ...
The portset family of commands manages the portsets. These
commands can be used to create new portsets and to show,
modify or destroy existing ones.
Portsets are a collection of ports that can be associated
with an igroup. Portsets are used to limit the ports that
can be used by the initiators in the igroup to access a
target lun. To associate/disassociate an igroup to/from a
portset, use the igroup bind and igroup unbind commands.
portset add portset_name port ...
Adds port(s) to an existing portset.
If the port string is specified in the filername:slotletter
format then only that specific port
will be added to the portset. The example
myfiler:9a shows this syntax. If the port string
is specified by only the slotletter format, then
both the local and partner ports will be added to
the portset. The example 9a shows this syntax.
portset create { -f | -i } portset_name [ port ... ]
Creates a new portset.
If the -f option is given, an FCP portset is created.
If the -i option is given, an iSCSI portset
is created. NOTE: currently only FCP portsets are
supported.
The maximum length of the portset_name string is 96
characters.
If no ports are supplied, then an empty portset
will be created. The maximum length of the port
string is 63 characters. If the port string is
specified in the filername:slotletter format then
only that specific port will be added when the
portset is created. The example myfiler:9a shows
this syntax. If the port string is specified by
only the slotletter format, then the port will be
added from both the local and partner filer when
the portset is created. The example 9a shows this
syntax.
portset destroy [ -f ] portset_name ...
Destroys existing portset(s). By default a set cannot
be destroyed if it is bound to an igroup. This
behaviour can be overridden with the use of -f
option which will unbind the portset from the
igroup and then destroy the portset.
portset help sub_command
Displays the help information for the given
sub_command.
portset remove [ -f ] portset_name port ...
Removes port(s) from a portset.
The operation is prohibited if removing the port
from the portset leaves the set empty while still
bound to an igroup. The -f option can be used to
force remove the port.
If the port string is specified in the filername:slotletter
format then only that specific port
will be removed from the portset. The example
myfiler:9a shows this syntax. If the port string
is specified by only the slotletter format, then
both the local and partner ports of that name will
be removed from the portset. The example 9a shows
this syntax.
portset show [ portset_name ]
Displays the ports in a portset. If no portset_name
is specified, the members of all portsets are displayed.
