fosExec
Executes a command in a specified logical switch context.
Synopsis fosexec --fid FID -cmd "cmd [args]"
fosexec --fid all [-force] -cmd "cmd [args]"
Description Use this command to execute any Fabric OS command on a specified logical switch context or on
all logical switches. The target logical switch is identified by its fabric ID (FID). When used with the
--fid all option, the specified command is executed in all logical switches.
The FIDs must be part of the FID permission list associated with the user account. If you execute
fosexec --fid all and you do not have permission to one or more of the logical switches (FIDs), the
command prompts for confirmation to continue with the execution of the command in the FIDs for
which you do have permission. You can override the prompt for confirmation with the -force option.
Refer to userConfig help for more information on logical switch access permissions.
Executing chassis-level commands through fosexec --fid all results in redundant output.
Note The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command
Availability" for details.
Operands This command has the following operands:
