support this function.

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 ETERNUS Web GUI.
•
A port in the affinity mode enabled (On) and a port in 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 affinity setting has been configured on
one of the port groups including the corresponding port, the 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).
