The procedure to create a SAS port group is as follows:
Procedure
1 Click [Create SAS Port Group] in [Action].
2 Specify the name of the port group to be created, select all the ports to be registered in the
port group, and click the [Create] button.
• Name
Specify the port group name.
An existing port group name cannot be specified.
The following input conditions apply:
- Up to 16 alphanumeric characters and symbols (except ", (comma)" and "?")
- Space
• Checkbox to select ports
Select the checkbox of the SAS port to be registered in a SAS 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.
• 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" or "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" or "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").
• To change the settings of a port groups, refer to "9.2.3.6 Modify CA Port Group" (page 528).
• To add a port to an existing port group, refer to "9.2.3.6 Modify CA Port Group" (page 528)
.
• When a port that has the affinity mode enabled ("ON") is selected, ports that have the affinity
mode disabled ("OFF") cannot be selected.
• When a port that has the affinity mode disabled ("OFF") is selected, ports that have the affinity
mode enabled ("ON") cannot be selected.
• Up to eight ports can be selected.
