Create FCoE Port Group
This function creates a new FCoE port group, and registers the port to be a member.
An FCoE port group is a group of FCoE-CA type ports that are connected to the specified host
group. This function configures the host affinity setting for each FCoE port group.
•
The maximum number of port groups per device is 128, irrespective of the CA types.
•
The maximum number of ports per port group is 8.
•
A port can be a member of several port groups.
The procedure to create an FCoE port group is as follows:
Procedure
1
Click [Create FCoE Port Group] in [Action].
•
Registration of the port is necessary to create a port group. A port group
cannot be created if the port to be a member has not been registered
from GUI.
•
A port with the affinity mode enabled (On) and a port with the affinity
mode disabled (Off) cannot exist together in a port group.
-
The affinity mode (On/Off) of a port group is decided when the host
affinity setting has been configured on the corresponding port group.
All of the member ports in a port group have the same affinity mode.
-
The affinity mode (On/Off) of a port group is not changed until the
host affinity setting has been released from the corresponding port
group.
-
When one port is registered in several port groups, and the host
affinity setting has been configured on one of the port groups
including the corresponding port, the same affinity setting is
configured on all the port groups, which include the corresponding
port, and also on the member ports.
-
Ports without the host affinity setting can be members of a port
group, regardless of whether the affinity mode for the group is
enabled (On) or disabled (Off).
