chassisConfig

chassisConfig
Displays or sets the configuration of the chassis.
Synopsis chassisconfig [-f][option]
Description Use this command to set the chassis configuration for products that support both single-switch and
dual-switch operation. Each configuration specifies whether the chassis runs as one logical switch
or two, and the port blade ID that is permitted on each logical switch. Any port blade ID that does
not match the current configuration is considered incompatible, and does not power up.
When no arguments are provided, this command displays the current configuration of the chassis
as well as a list of supported configurations. When a specific option is provided to this command,
all CPs currently in the system are immediately rebooted, returning to the specified mode. This can
result in some blades being faulted as incompatible, based on the new configuration option. This
command rejects without causing a reboot, if an option is not supported by the platform.
Use the slotShow command to display the current set of blades in the system.
When the system changes from single to multiple domains and vice versa, configuration
parameters that are not compatible are restored to factory defaults. The configuration data
includes, but is not limited to, routing, port swap, fabric, zoning, port configuration, passwords,
security, Brocade Fabric Watch, management server, time server, SNMP, performance monitoring,
and general Brocade Fabric OS configuration values. It is recommended that the current
configuration be saved using configUpload as a guide for adjustments after the configuration
change.
Certain configuration values that are not considered switch based and determined not to cause
adverse effects are left untouched. These include SSL certificates, PKI certificates, licenses, and IP
address.
When the -f (force) option is omitted, this command prompts for your consent to proceed further
with the configuration change. It also prompts you to upload the configuration data to a host so it
can be used as a guide to re-establishing the configuration data in the new mode. Use the -f option
to proceed without the interactive step.
Unless the chassis is currently configured as Option 1 (a single 128-port switch with Brocade blade
IDs 4 and 17 and CP blade IDs 5 and 16), both CP blades should always contain firmware that
supports this command. Use of earlier versions adversely affects switch operation.
Because this is a disruptive operation and has profound effect on the behavior of the chassis, it
must be used selectively.
User account data and passwords might not be saved using configUpload. User accounts created
using the userConfig command are deleted and user accounts are reset to the factory default user
accounts and passwords.
