Thanks Basil. I took a look over the MAN page. It goes into quite a bit of detail but doesn't seem to cover our particular scenario. Specifically, on a filer already serving data, how do we disable the iscsi protocol for interface X across vfiler0 and all non-default vfilers while not disrupting iscsi services on the dedicated iscsi interface.
To help illustrate:
Vfiler1>iscsi portal show
IP Address TCP Port TPGroup Interface
X.X.X.X 3260 1000 mgmt-interface
Y.Y.Y.Y 3260 1001 iscsi-interface
Pfiler>iscsi portal show
IP Address TCP Port TPGroup Interface
X.X.X.Y 3260 1000 mgmt-interface
Y.Y.Y.X 3260 1001 iscsi-interface
Z.Z.Z.Z 3260 1002 replication-interface
The goal is to disable iscsi services on the mgmt-interface and the replication-interface in both the pfiler and the vfiler. Both the pfiler and vfiler are currently serving data. All iscsi initiators are connected via the iscsi interface in both the vfiler and pfiler.
Im still digging into it, but based on what I've read, it looks like I should be able to run...
Pfiler>iscsi interface disable mgmt-interface
Pfiler>iscsi interface disable replication-interface
...to effectively disable iscsi services on the non-iscsi interfaces in BOTH the pfiler and vfiler. The expectation is that disabling iscsi on the aforementioned interfaces results in the non-iscsi-network-portals being removed from both the Pfiler and Vfiler.
Vfiler1>iscsi portal show
IP Address TCP Port TPGroup Interface
Y.Y.Y.Y 3260 1001 iscsi-interface
Pfiler>iscsi portal show
IP Address TCP Port TPGroup Interface
Y.Y.Y.X 3260 1001 iscsi-interface
I am not sure if it will work out this way so just looking for some perspective. Is it the correct command to use? Will running it from the Pfiler result in the portals in both the pfiler and vfiler being removed? There are some other commands that look like they may apply to this use case but so far iscsi interface disable seems the most logical.
Thanks,
Phil
