Considerations when modifying automatic login balancing

Consider the following when disabling automatic login balancing:

Be aware that modifying the APC policy default setting using the agautomapbalance command
may yield to uneven distribution of F_Ports to N_Ports. In such cases you may want to consider
a manual login distribution that forces a rebalancing of F_Ports to N_Ports.

To control automatic rebalancing to avoid disruptions when the Port Grouping policy is
enabled, refer to

“Rebalancing F_Ports”

on page 37.
