6.0 HP X9320 Network Storage System Administrator Guide (AW542-96009, December 2011)

Deleting hostgroups
When you delete a hostgroup, its members are assigned to the parent of the deleted group.
To force the moved X9000 clients to implement the mounts, tunings, network interface preferences,
and allocation policies that have been set on their new hostgroup, either restart X9000 Software
services on the clients (see “Starting and stopping processes” in the system administration guide
for your system) or execute the following commands locally:
• ibrix_lwmount -a to force the client to pick up mounts or allocation policies
• ibrix_lwhost --a to force the client to pick up host tunings
To delete a hostgroup using the CLI:
<installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_hostgroup -d -g GROUPNAME
Other hostgroup operations
Additional hostgroup operations are described in the following locations:
• Creating or deleting a mountpoint, and mounting or unmounting a file system (see “Creating
and mounting file systems” in the HP X9000 File Serving Software File System User Guide
• Changing host tuning parameters (see “Tuning file serving nodes and X9000 clients” (page 68))
• Preferring a network interface (see “Preferring network interfaces” (page 73))
• Setting allocation policy (see “Using file allocation” in the HP X9000 File Serving Software
File System User Guide)
