--pgremove pgid

Deletes the specified. the port group.

--failoverenable N_Port

Enables the failover policy for a given N_Port. When failover policy is enabled

for a given N_port, F_ports behave as follows:

• If only primary F_Port to N_Port mapping is in place, all currently mapped

F_Ports will failover to another available N_Port in the event the original

N_Port becomes disabled. If multiple N_Ports are available for failover,

F_Ports are evenly balanced across all available N_Ports.If no other

N_Port is available, failover will not occur.

• If secondary (preferred) F_port to N_port Mapping is in place, the F_Ports

will be routed through the preferred (secondary) N_Port. If the secondary

N_Port is offline, the F_Ports will be disabled.

--failoverdisable N_Port

Disables the failover policy for a given N_Port.

--failovershow [N_Port]

If N_Port is specified (optional), the command displays the failover policy for

this N_Port. Otherwise, the failover policy for all the N_Ports is displayed.

Failover is displayed as enabled (1) or disabled (0).

--failbackenable N_Port

Enables the failback policy for a specified N_Port. When failback policy is

enabled, ports behave as follows:

• If only primary F_Port to N_Port mapping is in place, all F_Ports are

automatically rerouted back to the N_Ports to which they were originally

mapped as those N_Ports come back online. Only the originally mapped

F_Ports fail back. In the case of multiple N_Port failures, only F_Ports

that were mapped to the recovered N_Port experience failback. The

remaining F_Ports are not redistributed among the online N_Ports during

the failback.

• If secondary (preferred) F_port to N_port Mapping is in place, and the

primary N_Port comes back online, then the F_Ports will re-routed

through the primary N_Port. If the secondary N_Port comes online, while

the primary N_port is still offline, F_Ports will be re-routed through the

Secondary N_Port.

--failbackshow [N_Port]
