fosExec

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.
NOTES
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.
