Before you set recovery settings, understand the following elements in the
Note
Recovery Setting area:
• Error count recovery mode sets the recovery scenario for all ports when
port failure is caused by excessive errors on the port. The only setting
option is Require Intervention.
• Link down error recovery mode sets the recovery scenario for all ports
when port failure is caused by the port going offline for more time than the
threshold specified in the Link down delay time text box. The only setting
option is Require Intervention.
• Link down delay time sets the timeout threshold before link down status
applies. The default value is zero (0) seconds. There is no maximum
value.
Require Intervention means that a user must manually use the Physical
Ports tab to bring a failed port that has recovered back online.

Configure the Primary Port by using the Select Primary drop-down list to select from the target ports
that are online and available.
Only ports that are in target mode and point-to-point connection can

participate in host port failover. The primary port becomes active by default
and the alternate port will go on passive standby until a failover occurs.
You must select a primary port. Current Active indicates the currently
active port.

Click Set. If your configuration has errors, a warning message appears.
Enabling a Disabled Target Port
Use the Physical Ports tab to manually enable an online target port that was disabled because of a
previous connection error. If the Intervention column displays "true," you must manually bring the
recovered port back online using Enable. If the port state is "disabled," the port's connection is repaired and
it is ready to be re-enabled. If the Configuration tab itself is disabled, the table on the Physical Ports tab
will be empty.
If the target port state is offline, the port's connection has not been repaired.
Note
The error condition that caused the port to fail still exists.
To enable a disabled target port:
