If you delete the SAN port channel for one port, then the individual ports within the deleted SAN port
channel retain the compatibility parameter settings (speed, mode, port VSAN, allowed VSAN, and port
security). You can explicitly change those settings as required.

Deleting SAN Port Channels

To delete a SAN port channel, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
switch# configuration terminal
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# no interface san-port-channel
channel-number
The following example shows SAN port channel deletion:
switch(config)# no interface san-port-channel 1
san-port-channel 1 deleted and all its members disabled
please do the same operation on the switch at the other end of the san-port-channel
Interfaces in a SAN Port Channel
You can add or remove a physical Fibre Channel interface (or a range of interfaces) to an existing SAN
port channel. The compatible parameters on the configuration are mapped to the SAN port channel.
Adding an interface to a SAN port channel increases the channel size and bandwidth of the SAN port
channel. Removing an interface from a SAN port channel decreases the channel size and bandwidth of
the SAN port channel.
Note Virtual Fibre Channel interfaces cannot be added to SAN port channels.
This section describes interface configuration for a SAN port channel and includes the following topics:

If you use the default On mode to avoid inconsistent states across switches and to maintain
consistency across switches, then the ports shut down. You must explicitly enable those ports again.
If you use the Active mode, then the port channel ports automatically recover from the deletion.
