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 port set for FCP and iSCSI. The port set name can include a maximum of 96 characters. You can add LIFs to the new port set. If you do not add a LIF to the port set, you create an empty port set. To add LIFs to an existing port set, use the lun portset add command.
After you create a port set, you must bind the port set to an igroup so the host knows which FC or iSCSI LIFs to access. If you do not bind an igroup to a port set, 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 port set because the initiators in the igroup would have no LIFs to access the LUN. |
