Introduced In: 9.9

Creates a portset.

Required properties

  • svm.uuid or svm.name - Existing SVM in which to create the portset.

  • name - Name of the portset.

  • protocol - The network protocol of the interfaces in the portset.

  • interfaces - Network interfaces to include in the portset. This property can be used to create the portset and populate it with network interfaces in a single request.

Default property values

If not specified in POST, the following default property values are assigned.

Request Body

Name Type Description

_links

_links

igroups

array[igroups]

An array initiator groups to which the portset is bound.

interfaces

array[interfaces]

An array of network interfaces that are members of the portset. These are the only network interfaces through which the initiators of a bound igroup can access mapped LUNs.

Zero or more network interfaces can be supplied when the portset is created. After creation, network interfaces can be added or removed from the portset using the /protocols/san/portsets/{portset.uuid}/interfaces endpoint. See link:post-protocols-san-portsets-interfaces(#-san-portset-interface-create)anddelete-protocols-san-portsets-interfaces-.htmlPOST /protocols/san/portsets/{portset.uuid}/interfaces and [DELETE /protocols/san/portsets/{portset.uuid}/interfaces/{uuid}] for more details.

name

protocol

string

The protocols supported by the portset. This restricts the type of network interfaces that can be added to the portset. Optional in POST; if not supplied, this defaults to mixed.

The protocol of a portset cannot be changed after creation.
