Delete IGroup operation - Documentation for BMC Atrium Orchestrator Content 20.14.01

Element

Definition

Required

<operation-name>

Specifies the name of the operation: delete-igroup

Yes

<arguments>

Specifies a list of arguments required for the operation

Yes

<targets>

Contains the parent XML element for the <target> element, which specifies the dynamic targets

Conditional; required if the adapter configuration is empty in Grid Manager

<target>

Contains the child XML <targets> element, which specifies the dynamic targets

Using dynamic targets, you can define connection information for a remote host in an adapter request. This capability enables you to configure an adapter in Grid Manager by specifying configuration information in an adapter request.

This XML element can have <host>, <user-name>, <password>, <protocol>, and <port> as its child elements.

Notes

• An adapter configuration specified by using request-level dynamic targets takes precedence over Grid Manager level configuration information.
• If you specify the request-level dynamic target by using <targets>, the request ignores the <targets> element that is a child of the <arguments> element.

Conditional; required if <targets> is present in the adapter request

<host>

Specifies the host name or IP address of the server on which NetApp DataFabric Manager is running

Conditional; required if <targets> is present in the adapter request

<user-name>

Specifies the user name required to log on to the NetApp DataFabric Manager

Conditional; required if <targets> is present in the adapter request

<password>

Specifies the password that corresponds to the <user-name>

The <password> element can contain an encryption-type attribute. The encryption-type attribute indicates whether the password specified is encrypted.

Valid values for encryption-type attribute: Base64, Plain (default)

Conditional; required if <targets> is present in the adapter request

<protocol>

Specifies the communication protocol used by the adapter

Valid values: http (default), https

No

<port>

Specifies the port on which NetApp DataFabric Manager is enabled

Default values: 8088 (http), 8488 (https)

No

<target>

Specifies the child XML element of the <arguments> element

You can use this element to specify the connection information for a DFM server. You can use a comma-separated list of configuration names, which executes the request simultaneously on all DFM servers identified by the configuration names.

Valid values:

• The values specified for the <target> XML element must be the same as the values that have been specified for the name attribute of the <config> element in the Grid Manager adapter configuration.
• You can provide "ALL" as the value. In this case, the request is executed on all the DFM servers defined in the Grid Manager adapter configuration.
• You can specify multiple comma-separated names to allow for simultaneous execution of requests across multiple DFM servers.
• You can skip this element. In this case, the request is executed on the first defined Grid Manager adapter configuration.
• You can leave this element empty. In this case, the request is executed on the first defined Grid Manager adapter configuration.

  Note

  If you specify a request-level dynamic target by using <targets>, the request ignores this element.

No

<target-host>

Specifies the host name or IP of the target storage or filer

Yes

<initiator-group-name>

Specifies the name of initiator group

Yes

<force>

Specifies whether to forcibly destroy the initiator group, even if there are existing lun maps

The best practice is to attempt to unmap all the luns associated with a group before destroying it.

Valid values: true, false (default)

No
