Creates a new portset
Availability: This command is available to cluster and Vserver administrators at the admin privilege level.
Description
This command creates a new portset for FCP and iSCSI. The portset name can include a maximum of 96 characters. You can add LIFs to the new portset. If you do not add a LIF to the portset, you create an empty portset. To add LIFs to an existing portset, use the lun portset add command.
After you create a portset, you must bind the portset to an igroup so the host knows which FC or iSCSI LIFs to access. If you do not bind an igroup to a portset, and you map a LUN to an igroup, then the initiators in the igroup can access the LUN on any LIF on the Vserver.
|
You cannot bind an igroup to an empty portset because the initiators in the igroup would have no LIFs to access the LUN. |
