11 Swapping Ports Figure 11-6 Web Tools Port Management Module Swapping Ports If a port malfunctions, or if you want to connect to different devices without having to re-wire your infrastructure, you can move traffic from one port to another port (swap ports) without changing the I/O Configuration Data Set (IOCDS) on the mainframe computer. Fabric Manager launches the Web Tools Port Management module to swap the ports. Web Tools automatically disables the ports prior to the swap and then reenables them afterwards. Use the following procedure to swap the area IDs of a pair of ports. To undo a port swap, run the following procedure again on the same two ports. Fabric Manager identifies swapped ports with "[swapped]" in the Area ID/Port Index column in the FC Ports tab and in other tables where the Area ID/Port Index is displayed. 11-8 Fabric Manager Administrator's Guide Publication Number: 53-1000196-01-HP
