Adding Ports to Port Group

All,

I need to add ports to an already configured port group which is also already assigned to masking views.


Can I ports without any disruption?

I have already zoned correctly. I incorrectly configured by port group to include all 4 paths.

Thank you.

Yes, you can add ports to a port group online, even if it's in a masking view.

Hi,

do you want to add new ports in port group and remove the existing ports without any disruption?

or

do you want to add additional ports in existing port group?

Regards,

simply add ports to the port group. The two (2) ports already in the group will remain.

The symaccess command provides the ability to perform the following actions:

Add or remove front-end director-ports for a specified port group.

I paste the command for add:

symaccess -sid -name -type port-dirport

: [, : [, : ...]][-ckd]

add [-celerra] [-rp]

You need to configure in this new dir port, the flags for you server software:

Specifies the overridden HBA port flags or initiator group port flags from the following values in []:

Supported HBA port flags:

Common_Serial_Number

Disable_Q_Reset_on_UA

Environ_Set

Avoid_Reset_Broadcast [ARB]

AS400 [AS4]

OpenVMS [OVMS]

SCSI_3 [SC3]

SPC2_Protocol_Version [SPC2]

SCSI_Support1 [OS2007]

Supported initiator group port flags:

Volume_Set_Addressing

Common_Serial_Number

Disable_Q_Reset_on_UA

Environ_Set

Avoid_Reset_Broadcast [ARB]

AS400 [AS4]
