Working with PFC groups

You can use Performance Control to create PFC groups to manage multiple host bus adapters
as a single group. Each PFC group can contain up to 32 HBAs, and you can create up to 255
PFC groups in the storage system. All HBAs in a PFC group have the same priority. Prioritized
WWNs and non-prioritized WWNs cannot be mixed in the same group.
You can use a PFC group to switch priority of multiple HBAs from prioritized to non-prioritized,
or vice versa. You can also use a PFC group to set the same upper limit value to all HBAs in the
group.
