5.4.3.4 Deleting LAGs

A warning message does not appear before you delete a LAG. Therefore, be

On the Storage menu, click Delete LAG .

5.4.4 Working with Network Portals
The network portal is the physical Ethernet port attached to the host. Before you create a
network portal, you must assign an IP address for the network portal and an IP address for the
iSCSI initiator (if more than one iSCSI initiator will access this network portal, each initiator
needs its own IP address). The initiator(s) and the network portal must have different IP
addresses, yet reside on the same subnet.
5.4.4.1 Creating Network Portals
The following procedure describes how to create network portals. When you create a network
portal, you specify the IP address for each xStack Storage Array data port that will be
communicating with your iSCSI initiator. As you create network portals, record the information in
Appendix B.
Your iSCSI initiator(s) must be aware of the IP address(es) you specify in this
procedure so it can communicate with the target xStack Storage Array.
