How to remove home port or current port of a LIF

[Atish1]

cluster1::> network port broadcast-domain delete -broadcast-domain Default -ports cluster1-01:e0d

Error: command failed: Port "cluster1-01:e0c" cannot be used because it is currently the home port or current port of a LIF.
To view LIFs with a specified home port, use the "network interface show -home-node <nodename> -home-port
{<netport>|<ifgrp>}" command. To view LIFs with a specified current port, use the "network interface show -curr-node
<nodename> -curr-port {<netport>|<ifgrp>}" command.

what lifs have that as their home port?

You'll need to modify the home ports of the lifs on cluster1-01:e0c and then move them to their new home port(s).  

I see 3 - 

lif_ApplicationData_324 up/up 192.168.0.94/24 cluster1-01 e0c true
cluster1-01_mgmt1 up/up 192.168.0.111/24 cluster1-01 e0c true
cluster_mgmt up/up 192.168.0.101/24 cluster1-01 e0c true

hi

You need to change the lif with -home port as "cluster1-01:e0c" to another port and then try your previous operation

Run the following command to change the -home port of lif_ApplicationData_324, cluster1-01_mgmt1, cluster_mgmt

network interface modify -vserver <vserver_name> -lif <lif_name> -home-node <node_name> -home-port <port_name>
