Deleting a preferred secondary N-Port for device mapping (optional)
Use the following steps to remove a secondary N_Port where devices will connect if their first or
primary N_Port, if defined, is unavailable.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. To delete an N_Port configured as a failover port for one or multiple devices mapped to a
specific N_Port, enter the ag --delwwnfailovermapping N_Port command with the
“[WWN];[WWN]” option. All of the listed devices will stop using the N_Port if the first N_Port
mapped to the devices is unavailable unless they log in through F_Ports that are mapped to
the N_Port.
The following example removes N_Port 32 as the secondary N_Port for two devices already
mapped to a primary N_Port.
ag --delwwnfailovermapping 32
“10:00:00:06:2b:0f:71:0c;10:00:00:05:1e:5e:2c:11”
To remove an N_Port as a failover port for all devices mapped to the N_Port, enter the ag
--delwwnfailovermapping N_Port command with the --all option.
The following command removes N_Port 32 as the secondary N_Port for all available devices.
ag --delwwnfailovermapping 32--all
Enabling and disabling Failover on a N_Port
Use the following steps to enable or disable failover policy on a specific N_Port.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the ag
--failovershow N_Port command to display the failover setting.
switch:admin> ag --failovershow 13
Failover on N_Port 13 is not supported
3. Enter the ag --failoverenable N_Port command to enable failover.
switch:admin> ag --failoverenable 13
Failover policy is enabled for port 13
4. Enter the ag --failoverdisable N_Port command to disable failover.
switch:admin> ag --failoverdisable 13
Failover policy is disabled for port 13
Enabling and disabling Failover for a port group
Failover policy can be enabled on a port group. To enable or disable use the following steps to
enable or disable failover on all the N_Ports belonging to the same port group.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the ag
--failoverenable -pg pgid command to enable failover.
switch:admin> ag --failoverenable -pg 3
Failover policy is enabled for port group 3
