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. While optional, this field should always be specified. Please see Note below. 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", "vmware", "openvms", "xen" and "hyper_v". If not specified, "default" is used. *NOTE* It is strongly recommended for the caller of this API to specify an OS type that is not "default". Some host OSes require this type field be set correctly in order to function properly.
ostype		string optional	Deprecated: use os-type instead; OS type of the initiators within the group. While optional, this field should always be specified. Please see Note below. 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. *NOTE* It is strongly recommended for the caller of this API to specify an OS type that is not "default".

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.

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	WWPN or WWPN Alias of Initiator to remove.

Sets an attribute for an initiator group.

Input Name	Range	Type	Description
attribute		string	Name of the attribute, Currently supported attributes are: os-type throttle_reserve throttle_borrow alua
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 "os-type" are "default", "solaris", "windows", "hpux", "aix", "linux", "netware", "vmware", "openvms", "xen" and "hyper_v". Setting the "os-type" attribute will perform 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. It is also strongly recommended the "default" os-type not be used and for the caller of this API to always require the proper OS type information to be obtained. Using "default" is dangerous because it could potentially cause problems with LUN access. The valid values for "throttle_reserve" are 0-99 The valid values for "throttle_borrow" are true or false The valid valuse for "alua" are true or false
