Expected SAN/Network
SAN or network to which you want to connect the storage system port.
Best practice: Use the
Auto
setting. Once cabling is complete, the actual SAN will be set and the expected SAN will be set based on the actual SAN. You must do this because unmanaged direct attach networks are not listed in the expected SAN/network menu.
If you do not want the appliance to manage a port, set the expected network to
none
.
Actual SAN
SAN or network to which the storage system port is connected.
The menu list displays the configured uplinks.
Port Group
The port group the storage port belongs to, otherwise, the default is

You can use port groups to specify a set of storage ports to be used when you attach a volume to a server profile
