b. Set the interface to “none”
c. Make the port topology change
d. Disconnect the fibre channel cable, then reconnect the fibre channel cable
e. Set the interface on the vHBAs back to this port.
4. Disconnect the fibre channel cable that will be connected to the new topology.
5. Set the new port topology type.

remove vhba vh3.frick
