NOTE

For bladed servers, the HBA connects to the internal ports. Therefore, the internal ports are F_Ports

and by default, only the external ports are configured as Imports.

Adding F_Ports

Adding an F_Port to an N_Port routes that traffic to and from the fabric through the specified

N_Port. When failover is enabled and the N_Port goes offline or fails, the F_Port automatically

routes to another N_Port that is connected to the same fabric.

An F_Port can be assigned to only one N_Port at a time. If the F_Port is assigned to another N_Port,

you must remove it from the N_Port before you can add it using the following procedure. To remove

an N_Port, refer to
