Mirroring Igroups, Initiators and Lun Mappings

JGPSHNTAP — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:21:02 GMT

First, I want to thank Glenn Sizemore for his kick ass approach of scripting and mirroring the Igroups..(See other thread)

Here's the completed script to mirror igroups, initiators and LUN Mappings..- For the purpose of testing I threw an If statement in there to grab just one igroup. You can remove the if statement if you want all igroups..

$sourcecontroller = Connect-NaController filera

$dstcontroller = Connect-NaController filerb

# Get Lun Info on Source Controller

$igroups = Get-NaIgroup -Controller $sourcecontroller

$LunInfo = Get-NaLun -Terse -Controller $sourcecontroller | where-object {$_.path -notlike "*sv*"} | Get-NaLunMap -Controller $sourcecontroller | Group-Object Name

## Loop through existing $igroup info

foreach ($Igroup in $igroups) {

if ($Igroup.name -eq "igroupname")

{

#Write-out command for testing igroup creation"

Write-Host "`nCreating Igroup:" $Igroup.name "On controller" $dstcontroller

Write-Host "--------------------------------------------------------"

New-NaIgroup -Name $Igroup.Name -Type $Igroup.type -protocol $Igroup.protocol -controller $dstcontroller -confirm:$false

## Adding initators to Igroup

Write-Host "`nAdding Initators: " $Initiators " to Igroup" $Igroup.name

$Initiators = $iGroup.Initiators | Select-Object -ExpandProperty 'InitiatorName'

$Initiators | Add-NaIgroupInitiator -igroup $igroup.name -Controller $dstcontroller -confirm:$false

Write-Host "`n"

### Add Lun Mappings for Igroup

Write-Host "`nAdding Lun Mappings for: " $Igroup.name

foreach ($lun in ($LunInfo| where {$_.Name -eq $igroup.Name} | select -ExpandProperty Group)) {

Write-Host "`t`t`tLUN:" $lun.lunID ":" $lun.path

Add-NaLunMap -Path $lun.path -InitiatorGroup $Igroup.name -ID $lun.lunid -Controller $dstcontroller -verbose

}

Forgot to add Glenn's check for ALUA.. That's all i'm concerned with.. Throw this in the for loop

## ADD alua check

	if ($Igroup.InitiatorGroupAluaEnabled -eq $true)
	{
	Write-Host "Adding ALUA to Igroup:" $Igroup.name
	Set-NaIgroup -Name $Igroup.name -Key alua -Value $IGroup.InitiatorGroupAluaEnabled -Controller $dstcontroller -Force

	}

I know some of you out there use aliases, upon checking I figured I would add it..

Add this do the code

$existingaliases = Get-NaFcpPortNameAlias -Controller $sourcecontroller

## Set Aliases via looping through it

If ($existingaliases -ne $null) {

foreach ($alias in $existingaliases) {

Set-NaFcpPortNameAlias -PortName $alias.aliaseswwpn -Alias $alias.aliasesalias -Controller $dstcontroller -Force -Verbose

}

Enjoy!

Very cool i'm glad my script helped kick start your project.

Thanks for sharing the Code!!

Thanks. You and clinton always get me moving in the correct direction.

And i'm all about sharing.. that's how everyone learns and is able to use the awesome powershell snapins..
