FIGURE 11 Failover behavior
Adding a preferred secondary N_Port (optional)
F_Ports automatically fail over to any available N_Port. Alternatively, you can specify a preferred secondary N_Port in case the primary
N_Port fails. If the primary N_Port goes offline, the F_Ports fail over to the preferred secondary N_Port (if it is online), then re-enable. If
the secondary N_Port is offline, the F_Ports will disable. Define the preferred secondary N_Ports per F_Port. For example, if two F_Ports
are mapped to a primary N_Port, you can define a secondary N_Port for one of those F_Ports and not define a secondary N_Port for
the other F_Port. F_Ports must have a primary N_Port mapped before a secondary N_Port can be configured.
The following steps show how to add a preferred seoncary N_Port.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the ag --prefset command with the "F_Port1[; F_Port2, ... ]"N_Port options to add the preferred secondary F_Ports to the
specified N_Port.
