11 Access Gateway policy modification 6. Optional: Expand the port in the right page and select the WWN and then use the Remove (left arrow) to remove the mapping. 7. Optional: Define a failover in the Secondary Failover Mappings area, by selecting the ports using the Add and Remove buttons to set up the secondary mappings. The WWN fails over to the secondary mapping if the primary mapped port is offline. If a secondary port is not defined, the failover moves to any online ports. 8. Optional: To create a detached WWN-N port mapping, enter the WWN value into the WWN field and click Add. The detached WWN port is now available for mapping. 9. After you have made the appropriate changes, click Save. Any unused WWNs are discarded. Access Gateway policy modification Although you can control a number of policies on switches in Access Gateway mode, Web Tools only provides the ability to enable and disable the policies. For more information on these policies please refer to Access Gateway Administrator's Guide. 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 To modify Path Failover and Failback policies, perform the following steps. 1. Click a port in the Switch View to open the Port Admin tab. 2. Select the N_Port for which you want to modify the policy. 3. Click Edit Configuration. 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 are lost. After you enable the APC policy, you cannot define custom port type configurations, port mappings, Path Failover, and Failback settings. 146 Web Tools Administrator's Guide 53-1002756-01
