Include a Subnet or Adapter for Use by MPIO
By default, all subnets, adapters, and IP addresses accessible to the group start out in the included list.
Use the rswcli ‑MPIOInclude command to include a subnet, adapter, or IP address for use by MPIO, or to move a subnet, adapter,
or IP address from the excluded list to the included list.
If the subnet, adapter MAC address, or IP address defined by these arguments is already in the included subnet, adapter, or IP address list,
the command will fail.
The command syntax is as follows:
rswcli -MPIOInclude -Network IP address -Mask IP address [-Force]
rswcli -MPIOInclude -MAC MAC_Address [-Force]
rswcli -MPIOInclude -IpAddress IP address [-Force]
rswcli -MPIOInclude -Default Include|Exclude [-Force]
The following table describes the command parameters.
Table 10. Include Subnet or Adapter Command Options
Parameter Argument Description
Network IP address (Required for a subnet) Designates a new IP address for a network that, in
combination with the -Mask parameter, matches exactly a subnet that is in the
excluded subnet list and moves it to the included subnet list.
Mask IP address (Required for a subnet) Designates a subnet mask to be used in conjunction with the
network IP address to define a subnet to be added to the included list.
MAC MAC address (Required for a subnet) Designates a new MAC address (also called physical
address) for a single adapter that matches exactly a MAC address for the adapter
that is in the excluded adapter list and moves it to the included adapter list.
The MAC address can be specified in any of the following formats, where AA, BB,
CC, DD, EE, FF represent the high-order to low-order portions of a 6-byte
hexadecimal (48-bit) MAC address that uniquely identifies a host network adapter:
• AABBCCDDEEFF
• AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF
• AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
• AA.BB.CC.DD.EE.FF
IpAddress IP address (Required for an IP address) Designates a new IP address for a single adapter that
matches exactly an IP address for the adapter that is in the excluded IP address list,
and moves it to the included IP address list.
Default Include | Exclude Controls whether any new adapters or subnets are included or excluded by default
from MPIO usage. You cannot combine the —Default parameter with any other
parameter except -Force.
Force Use this parameter if the included list already contains a combination of subnet,
adapter, or IP address. This parameter will result in the included list containing only
one type (either subnet, adapter, or IP address), as specified by the command used
with the relevant parameter. If the existing included list entries are of the same type
(subnet, adapter, or IP address) and are not already in the included list, then the new
subnet, adapter, or IP address is added to the include list. All other include list entries
that are not of same type are removed; for example, -MAC with -Force saves only
the existing adapter settings in the included list, but removes all other subnets and IP
addresses from the include list. To preserve mixed types of subnets, adapters, and IP
addresses, use the ASM CLI.
Exclude a Subnet or Adapter From Use By MPIO
By default, all subnets, adapters, and IP addresses accessible to the group start out in the included list.
