Configuring port maps
4
NOTE
For bladed servers, the HBA connects to the internal ports. Therefore, the internal ports are F_Ports
and by default, only the external ports are configured as Imports.
Adding F_Ports
Adding an F_Port to an N_Port routes that traffic to and from the fabric through the specified
N_Port. When failover is enabled and the N_Port goes offline or fails, the F_Port automatically
routes to another N_Port that is connected to the same fabric.
An F_Port can be assigned to only one N_Port at a time. If the F_Port is assigned to another N_Port,
you must remove it from the N_Port before you can add it using the following procedure. To remove
an N_Port, refer to “To remove an F_Port from an N_Port” on page 29.
To add F_Ports to an N_Port
1. Connect and log in to the switch.
2. Enter the ag command with the
--mapdel <n_portnumber> <F_Port1;...;F_Port2> operand to
remove the F_Port from the N_Port. Where the f_portlist can contain multiple F_Port numbers
separated by semicolons, for example “17;18”.
switch:admin> ag --mapdel 10 6
F-Port to N-Port mapping has been updated successfully
3. Enter the switchshow command to verify that the F_Port is free (unassigned).
Unassigned F_Port status is Disabled (No mapping for F-Port). See port 6 in the following
example.
