force boolean
optional
Forcibly add the initiator, disabling mapping and type conflict checks with the cluster partner. If not specified all conflict checks are performed.
initiator string
Initiator to add.

igroup-bind-portset [top]
Bind an existing igroup to a given portset.
Input Name Range Type Description
initiator-group-name string
Name of initiator group to bind the portset to.
portset-name string
Name of portset.
 Errno  Description
 EVDISK_ERROR_PORTSET_NO_SUCH_SET

igroup-create [top]
Creates a new initiator group.
Input Name Range Type Description
bind-portset string
optional
Name of a current portset to bind to the newly created igroup.
initiator-group-name string
Name of initiator group.
initiator-group-type string
Type of the initiator group, currently only "iscsi" and "fcp" are supported.
os-type string
optional
OS type of the initiators within the group. The type applies to all initiators within the group and governs the finer details of SCSI protocol interaction with these initiators. Valid arguments are "default", "solaris", "windows", "hpux", "aix", "linux", "netware" and "vmware". If not specified, "default" is used.
 Errno  Description
 EINVALIDINPUTERROR

 Yes

 
igroup-destroy [top]
Destroys an existing initiator group. By default a group cannot be destroyed if there are existing lun maps defined for that group. This behaviour can be overridden with the use of force option set to "true" which will destroy the initiator group and any associated lun maps.
Input Name Range Type Description
force boolean
optional
Forcibly destroy the initiator group, even if there are existing lun maps. Best practice is to attempt to unmap all the luns associated with a group before destroying it.
initiator-group-name string
Name of initiator group.
 Errno  Description
 VDISK_ERROR_NO_SUCH_INITGROUP
 VDISK_ERROR_INITGROUP_MAPS_EXIST
 Vfiler-enabled
 Yes

 
igroup-list-info [top]
Get information for initiator group(s).
Input Name Range Type Description
initiator-group-name string
optional
Name of initiator group. If specified, only information for that group is returned. If not specified, information for all inititor groups are returned.
 
Output Name Range Type Description
initiator-groups initiator-group-info[]
List of initiator groups.
 Errno  Description
 VDISK_ERROR_NO_SUCH_INITGROUP
 Vfiler-enabled
 Yes

 
igroup-lookup-lun [top]
Find the path to the lun mapped at a given lun-id for a given initiator group.
Input Name Range Type Description
initiator-group-name string
Name of initiator group to search.
lun-id integer
Lun-id (Logical Unit Number) to search for.
 
Output Name Range Type Description
path string
Path to the lun.
 Errno  Description
 VDISK_ERROR_NO_SUCH_INITGROUP
 VDISK_ERROR_NO_SUCH_LUNMAP

 
igroup-remove [top]
Removes node(s) from an initiator group. The operation is prohibited if there are existing lun maps defined for that group. The force option set to "true" can be used to forcibly remove the node regardless of mappings.
Input Name Range Type Description
force boolean
optional
Forcibly remove the initiator even if there are existing LUNs mapped to this initiator group. Best practice is to attempt to unmap all the luns associated with a group before removing the initiator.
initiator string
Initiator to remove.
initiator-group-name string
Name of initiator group.
 Errno  Description
 VDISK_ERROR_NO_SUCH_INITGROUP
 VDISK_ERROR_INITGROUP_MAPS_EXIST
 VDISK_ERROR_NOT_VALID_FC_WWN
 VDISK_ERROR_NOT_VALID_ISCSI_NAME
 VDISK_ERROR_NODE_NOT_IN_INITGROUP

 
igroup-set-attribute [top]
Sets an attribute for an initiator group.
Input Name Range Type Description
attribute string
Name of the attribute, Currently supported attributes are: ostype throttle_reserve throttle_borrow
force boolean
optional
Forcibly set the attribute, disabling conflict checks with the cluster partner where and when applicable. If not specified all conflict checks are performed.
initiator-group-name string
Name of initiator group.
value string
Value for the attribute. The valid values for "ostype" are "default", "solaris", "windows", "hpux", "aix", "linux", "netware" and "vmware". Setting the "ostype" attribute will preform checks with the cluster partner if this filer is running in the 'single_image' fcp cfmode and this igroup is an FCP igroups. The optional force argument can be used to override these checks if the cluster partner can not be reached. The valid values for "throttle_reserve" are 0-99 The valid values for "throttle_borrow" are true or false
