FIGURE 12 Failback behavior

Enabling and disabling the Failback policy on an N_Port

Use the following steps to enable or disable the Failback policy on N_Ports.

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.

2. Enter the ag --failbackshow n_portnumber command to display the failback setting.

switch:admin> ag --failbackshow 13

Failback on N_Port 13 is not supported

3. Use the following commands to enable or disable the Failback policy:
