Considerations when modifying automatic login balancing
Consider the following when disabling automatic login balancing:
•

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
