Logical switch issues

Logical switch issues

CAUTION
When a logical switch is created, all configuration for the logical switch is set to factory defaults.
When a logical switch is deleted, all configuration for the logical switch is deleted permanently
and is not recoverable.
Symptom The indicated slot is empty.
Probable cause and recommended action
You used the lsCfg command and an empty slot was specified.
Reissue the command with the appropriate slot number.
Symptom A port or ports cannot be moved to the requested switch.
Probable cause and recommended action
The port or ports specified may only exist in the default switch. This issue may be seen when
attempting to move ports on a Condor-based blade into a non-default switch.
To determine if you have a Condor-based blade, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.
Symptom Validation of switch configuration changes is not supported on this platform.
Probable cause and recommended action
This platform is unknown to the logical switch subsystem.
Symptom Given slot number is not valid on this platform.
Probable cause and recommended action
You are specifying a slot number that is not valid on the platform, for example, slot 0 on a Brocade
DCX or slot 12 on a Brocade DCX-4S.
Symptom Slot must be enabled to configure ports.
Probable cause and recommended action
You may only attempt to configure ports on enabled blades (blades may be faulted).
Symptom Unable to determine slot type.
Probable cause and recommended action
The slot type is not known to the logical switch. Verify the slot and try again.
Symptom There are no ports on this slot.
Probable cause and recommended action
There are no configurable ports on the slot indicated by the lsCfg command. Verify the ports and try
again.
