Adding And Moving Ports On A Logical Switch - HP StoreFabric SN6500B Administrator's Manual

Example of deleting the logical switch with FID 7

Adding and moving ports on a logical switch

This procedure explains how to add and move ports on logical switches.
You add ports to a logical switch by moving the ports from one logical switch to another. See
"Supported platforms for Virtual Fabrics"
If you want to remove a port from a logical switch, you cannot remove it from the logical switch; you
must move the port to a different logical switch.
When you move a port from one logical switch to another, the port is automatically disabled. Any
performance monitors that were installed on the port are deleted. If monitors are required on the
port in its new location, you must manually reinstall them on the port after the move.
Notes

3. Enter y at the prompt.

switch_4:FID4:admin> lscfg --delete 7
All active login sessions for FID 7 have been terminated.
Switch successfully deleted.
If the logical switch to which the port is moved has fabric mode Top Talkers enabled, then if the
port is an E_Port, fabric mode Top Talker monitors are automatically installed on that port.
If you are deploying ICLs in the base switch, all ports associated with those ICLs must be
assigned to the base switch. If you are deploying ICLs to connect to default switches (that is,
XISL use is not allowed), the ICL ports should be assigned (or left) in the default logical switch.
lscfg --config fabricID -slot slot -port port
The ports are assigned to the logical switch specified by fabricID and are removed from the
logical switch on which they are currently configured.
If the -port option is omitted, all ports on the specified slot are assigned to the logical switch.
NOTE
On the Brocade DCX and DCX 8510-8, the lscfg command does not allow you to add ports 48–
63 of the FC8-64 blade to the base switch. These ports are not supported on the base switch.
The Brocade DCX-4S and DCX 8510-4 do not have this limitation.
The ports are automatically disabled, then removed from their current logical switch, and
assigned to the logical switch specified by fabricID.
sw0:FID128:admin> lscfg --config 5 -port 18-20
This operation requires that the affected ports be disabled.
