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 congured for virtual port mode.
• If a Storage Center has IO ports with dierent performance characteristics, you may want to congure 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 dierent physical port.
• A single physical port can be the preferred port for multiple virtual ports.
Steps
1. Select a Storage Center from the Storage view. (Data Collector connected Storage Manager Client only)
2. Click the Hardware tab.
3. In the Hardware tab navigation pane, expand Controllers→ controller name→ IO Ports→transport type→physical IO port, then
select the virtual IO port.
4. In the right pane, click Edit Settings. The Edit Settings dialog box appears.
5. From the Preferred Parent drop-down menu, select the WWN of the physical IO port that should host the virtual port when
possible.
6. Click OK.
