Adding a preferred secondary N_Port
Preferred mapping is optional. Adding a preferred N_Port provides an alternate N_Port for F_Ports
to fail over to. The F_Ports must have a primary N_Port mapping before a secondary N_Port can be
configured.
You add the F_Ports to a preferred secondary N_Port using the prefset command, which sets the
preferred N_Port for one or more F_Ports. You can delete the F_Ports from the preferred N_Port
using the prefdel command. This following procedure shows adding F_Ports 3 and 9 to preferred
secondary N_Port 4.
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the ag --prefset command with the <F_Port1;F_Port2; ...> <N_Port> operands to add
the preferred secondary F_Ports to the specified N_Port.
The F_Ports that you want to map must be enclosed in quotation marks and the port numbers
must be separated by a semicolon, for example:
switch:admin> ag --prefset "3;9" 4
Preferred N_Port is set successfully for the F_Port[s]
Deleting F_Ports from a preferred secondary N_Port
This example shows deleting F_Ports 3 and 9 from preferred secondary N_Port 4.
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the ag --prefdel command with the <F_Port1;F_Port2; ...> <N_Port> operands to delete
the preferred F_Port mapping from the specified N_Port.
The list of F_Ports to delete from the secondary mapping must be enclosed in quotation marks.
Port numbers must be separated by a semicolon, for example:
switch:admin> ag --prefdel "3;9" 4
Preferred N_Port is deleted successfully for the F_Port[s]
