In this example, you want to remove host ports. Therefore, select one of the Exchange01  host ports and click Actions →  Unassign Host Port  (see Figure 7-103).

After the host port is unassigned, click Close to return to the Hosts view (see Figure 7-104), which shows that the Exchange01  host is Online and only a single port is active.

Under normal conditions, any configured host features at least two configured host ports for redundancy. However, you might have reasons for unassigning a host port, as demonstrated in this example. One reason might be that if an HBA for a host is replaced, SAN zoning and storage systems must be reconfigured for the new host WWPN.
