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
“

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
