Don't know why they show up as loop. I changed ports on the switch and the L-port kept following the cable wherever I moved it to. Anyhow, I resetit manually to an F-port and it seems to recognize it now and show the correct WWN value which matches the CX array.

Can you please copy and paste the UNKNOWN code showing from the switch with the command you used?

Hope that helps

Both the mirrorview ports were showing up as L-ports on the switch-side while the non-mirror view ports were showing up as F-ports.

I went into the switch and forced the to be F-ports, then the WWN did showup. So, it looks correct and I will test port failure this afternoon.

Not sure why the mirrorview caused the ports to become L-ports though, hope that's nothing to worry about.

Going to give it a try and see if I can get host-side IO through those ports. Thanks

The 2 ports will always be showing as Mirrorview ports from Unisphere port management for block GUI interface however, this will not impact you in anything. You still can consider them normal front-end ports and zone them directly to your Hosts.

Hope that helps

You can use MirrorView ports as regular ports, nothing special needs to be done on the array.

Loop . that’s odd.
