Mapping Ports
The Map Ports dialog enables you to configure data traffic routes from server bay
ports to one or more uplink ports. Server bay ports are referred to as TH
(Transparent Host) ports. At least one uplink port must connect to a fabric switch
that supports NPIV (N-Port ID Virtualization). When an uplink port is connected to
a fabric switch, it is called a TF (Transparent Fabric) port.
NOTE:
If the Test Status field in the Test Results area indicates Failed, note the Test
Fault Code displayed in the Port Information data window and contact your
technical support representative.
NOTE:
The Map Ports dialog requires at least one internal port to be configured as
a TH port and at least one external port to be configured as a TF port. If all
internal ports or all external ports are configured as PT ports, the Map Ports
dialog becomes inactive in the Port menu and can not be selected.
