Removing interfaces from target portal groups

You can remove interfaces from an existing target portal group. The specified interfaces are removed from the group and returned to their individual default target portal groups.

About this task

Any iSCSI sessions with the interfaces being removed are terminated, but the initiator should reconnect automatically. However, initiators that create a persistent association between the IP address and the target portal group are not able to reconnect.

Step

  1. On the storage system console, enter the following command:
    iscsi tpgroup remove [-f] tpgroup_name [interface ...]

    -f forces the interfaces to be removed, even if that terminates an existing session using one of the interfaces being removed from the group.

    tpgroup_name is the name of the group.

    interface ... is the list of interfaces to remove from the group, separated by spaces.

Example

The following command removes interfaces e8a and e9a from the portal group named server_group, even though there is an iSCSI session currently using e8a:

iscsi tpgroup remove -f server_group e8a e9a
