Repairing and Enabling a Failed Target Port

After host port failover occurs, the failed target port must be repaired and enabled before it can be
configured as an active or standby port for the host port failover feature. To repair the failed port, use the
information in the RAS ticket that was generated when the host port failover occurred. For information on
viewing and resolving RAS tickets, see
Once the port has been repaired, you can enable it. Details on enabling a repaired target port include:
• The Setup - Blade Port Failover screen displays all the I/O blades found in the library. I/O blades
are listed by the following: location in the library, WWNN, and status. You can select the I/O blade
that had a failed target port and proceed to the next screen.
• In the Physical Ports section of the screen, check the State, Failure Type, and Intervention columns
for the port that failed.
If you are using the operator panel user interface, select the Port Info
Note
button to view the physical ports information.
• If the port has not yet been repaired, the port's state is offline, a failure type is indicated, and
intervention is not yet required. You must repair the failed port using information in the RAS
ticket that was generated for the host port failover. You can then return to this screen and
enable the repaired port.
• If the port's state is online, and intervention is required, the failed port has already been repaired
and can be enabled. Click Enable to make the port available for another failover or for
reconfiguration as the active port.
• After enabling the repaired target port, save the library configuration. For instructions on how to
save the library configuration, see
Troubleshooting."
This operation should not be performed concurrently by multiple administrative

screens, but you cannot apply changes while another administrative user is
performing the same operation.
