I try to: "network port broadcast-domain add-ports -broadcast-domain Default-Mgmt -ports HRFAS3-02:e0M"
but get the error:
command failed: Port "HRFAS3-02:e0M" cannot be used because it is currently the home port or current port of a LIF
HRFAS3-02:e0M is not part of a broadcast domain yet, only the management port of the first node is. Also there is nothing connected to it as I'm using the USB serial cable to connect to the CLI.

Does the node have a Node Management LIF, and it's home is e0M? Run:
net int show -home-node HRFAS3-02 -home-port e0M
That will show you what LIF is home'd to that port.

yes it shows LIF: HRFAS3-02_mgmt1

You have somewhere to move the LIF? Since its the node-mgmt it needs to be a port of the same node.
But you mentioned that currently nothing's connected to e0M. You could disable the LIF (or even delete it), add the port to your broadcast-domain and then enable the LIF again (or create it).
net int modify -lif HRFAS3-02_mgmt1 -status-admin down

thank you both
i was able to disable the LIF as you said, but it still shows the same error when then trying to add it to the BD, even though its down

can i home it to another port?

can i home it to another port?
yes
net int modify -vserver ... -lif ... -home-port ...

This usually happens when you have multi-reach broadcast domains, like e0M in one BD and say tagged vlans in another but there are the same vlan. Check with
Network port reachability show
As has been indicated, easiest to home temporally to another port that is up (even if it is the wrong vlan). Then as the e0M port into the bd. Then home the Lif back to e0M

@light nacelle You said that e0M is "not part of a broadcast domain yet". If it is part of a BD you could merge the BDs. This works even if there are LIFs on the ports.
