Setting the Fibre Channel topology

Use this procedure to set the topology (FC-AL or P-to-P) of a Fibre Channel port.

CautionWhen a port has a path defined for an LDEV with the GAD reserve attribute and you need to change the topology, the operation might fail if you configure more than one port at a time. For ports that have a path defined for an LDEV with the GAD reserve attribute, perform this operation on one port at a time.
