REMOVING F_PORTS
Removing an F_Port from an N_Port unassigns the F_Port. The F_Port status changes to Disabled
(No mapping for F-Port).
To remove an F_Port from an N_Port
1. Connect and log in to the switch.

Managing the failover and failback policies
The failover and failback policies determine the behavior of the F_Port if the N_Port they are
mapped to goes OFFLINE or is disabled. By default, the failover and failback policies are enabled.
This section explains how to change the policy settings.
Both the failover and failback processes are disruptive. When a host connection fails over and fails
back to another online N_Port, the F_Port connection is disabled and then re-enabled on the new
N_Port. Each time the host changes N_Ports, it receives a new PID. The host must establish a new
session to the fabric
CAUTION
If the failback policy is enabled and autofailback occurs, this will interrupt traffic because the ports
need to relogin to their original mapped port thus causing a disruption in traffic.
