Creates a port group with the ID pgid and a specified list of N_Ports to be
included in the policy. The list must be enclosed in quotation marks. Ports
must be separated by semicolons. Maximum numbers of ports allowed in a
port group is MAX_PORT. Port Group ID must not exceed 64 characters.
--pgadd pgid “N_Port1 [; N_Port2;...]”
Adds one or more N_Ports to the specified port group. The port list must be
enclosed in quotation marks. Ports must be separated by semicolons.
--pgdel pgid “N_Port1 [; N_Port2;...]”
Deletes one or more N_Ports from the specified port group. Deleted ports are
added to the default port group “pg0”. The port list must be enclosed in
quotation marks. Ports must be separated by semicolons.
--pgrename pgid newname
Replaces the name of an existing port group with the specified new name.
Port Group ID must not exceed 64 characters.
--pgremove pgid
Deletes the specified port group. The N_Ports in the Port Group that was
deleted are moved to the default Port Group, which is pgid 0.
--failoverenable N_Port
Enables the failover policy for a given N_Port. When failover policy is enabled
for a given N_Port, F_Ports behave as follows:
• If only primary F_Port to N_Port mapping is in place, all currently mapped
F_Ports will fail over to another available N_Port in the event the original
N_Port becomes disabled. If multiple N_Ports are available for failover,
F_Ports are evenly balanced across all available N_Ports. If no other
N_Port is available, failover does not occur.
• If preferred Secondary F_Port to N_Port Mapping is in place, the F_Ports
are be routed through the preferred Secondary N_Port. If the preferred
Secondary N_Port is offline, the F_Ports are be disabled.
--failoverdisable N_Port
Disables the failover policy for a given N_Port.
--failovershow [N_Port]
If N_Port is specified (optional), the command displays the failover policy for
this N_Port. Otherwise, the failover policy for all the N_Ports is displayed.
Failover is displayed as enabled (1) or disabled (0).
--failbackenable N_Port
Enables the failback policy for a specified N_Port. When failback policy is
enabled, ports behave as follows:
• If only primary F_Port to N_Port mapping is in place, all F_Ports are
automatically rerouted back to the N_Ports to which they were originally
mapped as those N_Ports come back online. Only the originally mapped
F_Ports fail back. In the case of multiple N_Port failures, only F_Ports
that were mapped to the recovered N_Port experience failback. The
remaining F_Ports are not redistributed among the online N_Ports during
the failback.
