Change the Preferred Physical IO Port for a Virtual IO Port
Under normal operating conditions, a FC or iSCSI virtual port is hosted by its preferred physical port.
Prerequisites
The fault domain must be configured for virtual port mode.
● If a Storage Center has IO ports with different performance characteristics, you may want to configure a virtual port to use
a particular physical port.
● If a physical port is removed from a Storage Center, the corresponding virtual port must be assigned to a different physical
port.
● A single physical port can be the preferred port for multiple virtual ports.
