Predefined Port Groups

There are 3 predefined, automatically created port groups that are available for use, yet

cannot be defined in the policy file (if a group in the policy is configured with the name

of one of these predefined groups, the policy fails) -

• ALL - a group that includes all nodes in the fabric

• ALL_SWITCHES - a group that includes all switches in the fabric.

• ALL_CAS - a group that includes all HCA's in the fabric.

subtract rule One can define a rule that subtracts one

port group from another. The given rule,

for example, will cause all the ports

which are a part of grp1, but not included

in grp2, to be chosen.

In subtraction (unlike union), the order

does matter, since the purpose is to sub

tract the second group from the first one.

There is no option to define more than

two groups for union/subtraction. How

ever, one can unite/subtract groups which

are a union or a subtraction themselves,

as shown in the port groups policy file

example.

subtract-rule: grp1,

grp2
