Disabling and enabling AG mode

This section explains how to disable and enable AG mode using HP B-series Fabric OS commands.
For more information on using these commands, see "Enabling and disabling AG mode" in the
Access Gateway Administrator's Guide or see the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.
NOTE: You can disable and enable AG mode using Web Tools. See the Web Tools
Administrator's Guide for more information.

Enabling AG mode

Note the following when enabling AG mode:
After you enable AG mode, some fabric information is erased, such as the zone and security
databases.
Enabling AG mode is disruptive because the switch is disabled and rebooted.
Ensure that no zoning or AD transaction buffers are active. If a transaction buffer is active,
enabling AG mode fails with the error Failed to clear Zoning/Admin Domain
configuration.
To enable AG mode using HP B-series Fabric OS commands:
1. Before enabling AG mode, save the current configuration file using the configupload
command.
2. Enter the switchshow command to verify the switch mode.
AG Mode is displayed for switchMode if the switch is in AG mode. Native is displayed
for switchMode if the switch is in Native mode.
3. Enter the switchdisable command to disable the switch.
The switch must be disabled in order to enable or disable AG mode.
4. Enter the ag - modeenable command to enable AG mode.
5. Enter the ag --modeshow command to verify that AG mode is enabled.
switch:admin> ag --modeshow
nl
Access Gateway mode is enabled.

Disabling AG mode

When you disable AG mode, the switch reboots automatically and comes back online using the
fabric switch configuration. The AG parameters, such as F_Port-to-N_Port mapping, Failover, and
Failback are removed automatically. When the switch reboots, it starts in Native mode. For
instructions on adding the switch back to the core fabric, see the Access Gateway Administrator's
Guide.
