From PowerMaxOS 5978, ports are associated by default. With emulation convergence, OR emulation supports all Front-end and SRDF emulations (except for Mainframe, (EF)) and allows individual protocols to be enabled/disabled, which can be considered analogous to port association/disassociation operations.
associate port	symcfg enable -protocol	PowerMaxOS 10
disassociate port	symcfg disable -protocol	PowerMaxOS 10
