Managing unused ports

When you have unused ports on an EVA, perform the following steps:
1. Place a loopback plug on all unused ports.
2. Change the mode on unused ports from fabric to direct connect.

Changing the host port connectivity

To change the host port connectivity:
1. Disconnect any connected cable.
NOTE:
restart to clear the condition.
2. Use the OCP and navigate to the host port to be changed.
3. Select fabric for an FC switch connection or direct for direct attachment to an HBA.
4. Reconnect cables.
