To change drive assignment on Fibre Channel ports
When creating a library, drives are automatically assigned based upon the specified port
configuration. If you select a pair of ports, the drives are distributed equally across both ports. To
change drive assignment:
1.
Click Edit.
2. For each configured drive, select the required port from the drop-down list.
3. Click Update.
IMPORTANT: Be aware that Port 1 and port 3 are on the first Fibre Channel card, which is in
slot 2; port 2 and port 4 are on the second Fibre Channel card, which is in slot 3, so it is important
to ensure that the system has been cabled correctly when connecting to the Fibre Channel SAN.
