operation in the event of a Fibre Channel port failure without the loss of 

any of the library’s SCSI devices or the need for operator/field service 

technician intervention.
If enabled, Fibre port 2 out of 0, 1, and 2 is used as a reserved port. In case

a Fibre port failure condition on either port 0 or port 1. The tests include 

simulating a Port Down, Loop Down, or ISP Error condition. 
After simulating the condition, use the Bridge Status page to check the 

Fibre port status. These tests only work if PortFailover is enabled. You 

may recover the failed port by issuing the Recover test to the selected 

Fibre port.
