•
Checkbox to select a port
Select the checkbox of the iSCSI port to be registered in an iSCSI port group.
•
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.
•
Only ports with "CA" as the port mode can be added to a port group.
Ports with "RA" as the port mode cannot be added to a port group.
•
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).
