Grouping host bus adapters
Use Performance Control to create an PFC group to contain multiple host bus adapters. You can
include a maximum of 32 host bus adapters in a PFC group. You can create up to 512 PFC groups
in the storage system. All the host bus adapters (HBAs) in one PFC group must be of the same
priority. Prioritized WWNs and non-prioritized WWNs cannot be mixed in the same group.
You can use an PFC group to switch priority of multiple HBAs from prioritized to non-prioritized,
or vice versa. You can also use an PFC group to set the same upper limit value to all the HBAs in
the group.
Containing multiple HBAs in an PFC group
A host bus adapter can be contained in only one PFC group. To create an PFC group and contain
multiple host bus adapters in the group:

PFC group is created and an PFC group icon ( ) is added to the lower-left tree.

Non-Monitor to PFC groups.

When selecting a host bus adapter that is already contained in some PFC group from
the upper-left tree, the Add WWN button is not activated. Select a host bus adapter that
is not contained in any PFC groups.
