Swap Ports Failure of port circuitry behind an optical transceiver may require
swapping the logical port address of the failed port to a known
operational port. This ensures the port address matches information
in the hardware configuration definition (HCD) of an attached host.
NOTE: This procedure swaps hexadecimal logical port addresses, not
decimal port numbers.
Inform the customer a port swap is to be performed. Ensure that the
system administrator quiesces Fibre Channel frame traffic through
the ports, varies any attached host offline and sets any attached
device offline.
To swap ports use the following steps:
1. Select Port Swapping from the Maintenance menu
(Maintenance>Port Swapping). The Swap Ports dialog box appears.

hexadecimal port addresses (FICON style) of the ports to be
swapped. The FC Address fields update dynamically.
