b. Enter fc-link-speed -i port_number -s speed for each port.
c. Enter fc-link-speed to verify the settings.
4. Modify zoning and switches with the new WWPN, if you are using WWN-based

If you are using port-based zoning, no modifications are necessary for the switch
configurations.
5. Open Device Manager - Storage Navigator and re-configure the LUN mapping and
host group on the storage system that is dedicated to the server with the new
WWPNs. Perform this step for every affected server port.

the fiber paths.
