•Automatically Assign Volume to Storage Port based on - Select one of the following:

•Most unused ports (the number of LUNs assigned) - Assigns a volume to a FA port based on how often a port is used. Unused ports have a better chance of having a volume assigned to them than frequently used ports. This option helps you spread out the traffic.

•Linked port if there is any - A linked port is more likely to be assigned a volume than an unassigned port. The management server looks for any storage system port that is zoned to the selected HBA. If the management server cannot find a storage system port zoned to the selected HBA, it selects a port with the fewest LUNs.
