Port configurations
The following mapping updates and adding and removing of ports are only applicable to the Port
Grouping policy.
Adding F_Ports to an N_Port
When you update the mapping, only the F_Ports added or removed are affected. Adding an F_Port
to an N_Port routes that traffic to and from the fabric through the specified N_Port. When you
enable the failover policy and if the N_Port goes offline or fails, the F_Port automatically routes to
another N_Port, which is connected to the same fabric.
You can assign an F_Port to only one primary N_Port at a time. If the F_Port is already assigned to
an N_Port, you must remove it from the N_Port before you can add it. Use the following procedure
to add an F_Port to an N_Port.
NOTE
For bladed servers, the HBA connects to the internal ports. Internal ports are F_Ports. By default,
only the external ports are configured as N_Ports.
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the ag command with the
--mapdel <n_portnumber> <F_Port1;...;F_Port2> operand to
remove the F_Port from the N_Port. 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.
