Using igroups on vFiler units

How igroups work on vFiler units

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 vFiler units.

Creating an igroup in a non-default vFiler unit

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

Step	Action
1	Change the context to the desired vFiler unit by entering the following command: myfiler> vfiler context vf1 Result The vFiler unit's prompt is displayed.
2	Create the igroup on vFiler unit determined by step 1 by entering the following command: vf1@myfiler> igroup create -i vf1_iscsi_group iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:server1
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.1991-05.com.microsoft:server1

Step

Action

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

myfiler> vfiler context vf1

Result

The vFiler unit's prompt is displayed.

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

vf1@myfiler> igroup create -i vf1_iscsi_group iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:server1

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.1991-05.com.microsoft:server1

Mapping LUNs to igroups

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