3PAR 8200 ISCSI port configuration

Hi,
I've been given a re-purposed 8200 to reconfigure for our company lab. I've got most of it done, but I'm struggling with the ISCSI port config. I'll give the example for the first port, but all 4 are the same.
It started as;

N:S:P State IPAddr           Netmask/PrefixLen Gateway          TPGT MTU Rate      iSNS_Addr iSNS_Port STGT VLAN
0:2:1  ready 192.168.53.11   255.255.255.0           192.168.53.254 21       1500 10Gbps 0.0.0.0        3205          21       Y

The following commands where issued via CLI (All I have atm) using admin account that is a super user
controliscsiport delete -f 0:2:1
cli% controliscsiport addr x.x.x.1 255.255.255.0 -vlan 4000 -f 0:2:1
cli% controliscsiport gw x.x.x.254 -vlan 4000 -f 0:2:1
cli% controliscsiport mtu 1500 -vlan 4000 -f 0:2:1
But when I issued another showport -iscsi I get the following output

N:S:P State IPAddr Netmask/PrefixLen Gateway TPGT MTU Rate      iSNS_Addr iSNS_Port STGT VLAN
0:2:1  ready 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0                       0.0.0.0     21       1500 10Gbps 0.0.0.0        3205         21       Y

Since the delete command worked, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any help?

Try
controlport rst -f 0:2:1
at the End.

If this does not help, try to set the Port Offline first. (controlport offline).

Hi,

Thank you for getting back to my thread. Unfortunately that was a no go.
Actions.

1. I ran the reset. Tried to apply the config.
2. Ran reset, apllied config and reset again
3. Ran config commands and offlined the port
4. Offlined the port ran the config commands, brought the port up.
5. same as above but reset the port at the end.

For anyone else having this problem. It was the -vlan that was stopping the config from sticking. As soon as I dropped that param it took.

But now it's case closed. Thanks for looking.
