FC Ports

The Fibre Channel (FC) Ports screen displays all of the Fibre Channel ports and port groups on the NAS.

Fibre Channel Port Groups

A Fibre Channel port group is a group of one or more Fibre Channel ports. Fibre Channel port groups help

you organize and manage LUN mappings more easily. When a LUN is mapped to a Fibre Channel port group,

QTS automatically maps the LUN to every Fibre Channel port in the group.

Important

• Each Fibre Channel port can be in one or more Fibre Channel port groups.

• Each LUN can only be mapped to one Fibre Chanel group.

• There is a default port group that contains all Fibre Channel ports.
