12 Access Gateway policy modification Path Failover and Failback policies The Path Failover and Failback policies determine the behavior of the F_Port if the primary mapped N_Port they are mapped to goes offline or is disabled. The Path Failover and failback policies are attributes of the N_Port. By default, the Path Failover and Failback policies are enabled for all N_Ports. Modifying Path Failover and Failback policies Use the following procedure to modify Path Failover and Failback policies. 1. Click a port in the Switch View to open the Port Administration window. 2. Select the N_Port for which you want to modify the policy. 3. Click Edit Configuration. FIGURE 99 N_Port Configuration dialog box 4. Select the appropriate check box to modify the policy. 5. Click Save. Enabling the Automatic Port Configuration policy The Automatic Port Configuration (APC) policy is a global configuration policy for a switch in Access Gateway mode. By default, this policy is disabled. If you created an N_Port grouping and switching over to the automatic mode, those port groups will be lost. After you enable the APC policy, you cannot define custom port type configurations, port mappings, Path Failover, and Failback settings. Use the following procedure to enable auto rebalancing from the Switch Administration window. 1. Click a port in the Switch View to open the Port Administration window. 2. Select Automatic from the Port Configuration Policy drop-down list. NOTE When Port Configuration Policy is set to Advanced, you can enable the auto rebalancing options from the Configure N_Port Groups dialog box through the Port Administration window. 186 Web Tools Administrator's Guide 53-1001343-01
