Load balancing after system reboot

After reboot, upstream FC connections to the end-devices become operational first and carry more sessions than the other upstream FC connections to SAN. This requires load balancing. You can address load balancing in the following ways:

• After reboot, check the system state and trigger rebalance using the CLI.
• Configure the delay fcf-adv timer. The delay timer starts when a new FC upstream interface is available. When the timer expires, the upstream connection and the other available connections become operational. This configuration ensures that there is enough time for all upstream connections to become operational before processing the session requests from end devices. Depending on the topology, you can decide the timeout value.
