screen displays all the I/O blades
found in the library. I/O blades are listed by the following: location
in the library, WWNN (web client only), and status/state. You can
select the I/O blade you want to configure for host port failover and
proceed to the next screen.
• To enable FC host port failover for the selected FC I/O blade, you can
select a checkbox to enable FC Host Port Failover. Clearing the
checkbox disables FC host port failover for the selected FC I/O blade.

until failover occurs.
• After enabling or disabling FC host port failover, save the library
configuration. For instructions on how to save the library
configuration, see
