Deleting an N_Port from a port group

Before deleting an N_Port, all F_Ports mapped to that N_Port must be remapped before that
N_Port is deleted from a port group.
If an N-port is deleted from a port group enabled for Login Balancing, the F-ports mapped to that
N-port stay with the port group as long as there are other N-ports in the group. Only the N-port is
removed from the port group. This is because the F_Ports are logically associated with the port
groups that are enabled for Login Balancing. This is not the case for port groups not enabled for
Login Balancing. When you delete an N-port from one of these port groups, the F-ports that are
mapped to the N-port move to PG0 along with the N-port. This is because the F-ports are logically
associated with the N-ports in port groups not enabled for Login Balancing.
