Using igroups on vFilers

How igroups work on vFilers

igroups are owned by vFiler contexts. The vFiler ownership of igroups is determined by the vFiler context in which the igroup is created. You can create iSCSI igroups in non-default vFilers.

Creating an igroup in a non-default vFiler

To create an igroup in a non-default vFiler, complete the following steps.

Step	Action
1	Change the context to the desired vFiler by entering the following command: myfiler*> `vfiler context vf1` Result The vFiler's prompt is displayed.
2	Create the igroup on vFiler determined by step 1 by entering the following command: vf1@myfiler*> `igroup create -i vf1_iscsi_group iqn.2002-06.xom.microsoft.tin1`
3	Display the igroup by entering the following command: vf1@myfiler*> `igroup show` Result The following is a sample display. vf1_iscsi_group (iSCSI) (ostype: default): iqn.2002-06.xom.microsoft.tin1

Step

Action

Change the context to the desired vFiler by entering the following command:

myfiler*> vfiler context vf1

Result

The vFiler's prompt is displayed.

Create the igroup on vFiler determined by step 1 by entering the following command:

vf1@myfiler*> igroup create -i vf1_iscsi_group iqn.2002-06.xom.microsoft.tin1

Display the igroup by entering the following command:

vf1@myfiler*> igroup show

Result

The following is a sample display.

vf1_iscsi_group (iSCSI) (ostype: default):

      iqn.2002-06.xom.microsoft.tin1

Mapping LUNs to igroups

You must map LUNs to igroups that are in the same vFiler.
