Dlsreset - Brocade Communications Systems Brocade 8/12c Command Reference Manual

dlsReset

Disables Dynamic Load Sharing (DLS).
SYNOPSIS
dlsreset
DESCRIPTION
Use this command to disable Dynamic Load Sharing.
If DLS is turned off, load sharing calculations are used only to place new routes. Once placed, existing
routes are never moved from one output E_Port to another, unless the original output E_Port is no longer
a recognized path to the remote domain. Optimal balance is rarely achieved with this setting. Refer to the
dlsSet help page for a full description of load sharing options, including the Lossless feature.
The behavior of this command depends on the routing policies configured on the switch:
•
•
•
Refer to aptPolicy for information on routing policies.
NOTES
The Lossless feature is not supported on GbE ports and FCoE ports. On unsupported platforms, this
command exits with an appropriate message.
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.

If a port-based routing policy is in place, DLS is disabled by default, and dlsReset returns the DLS
setting to default. If Lossless was enabled, this command removes the Lossless option along with
the DLS feature and returns a message stating that "DLS is not set".
If an exchange-based routing policy is in place, DLS is always enabled. It cannot be disabled and
the dlsReset command fails. The command generates a message stating that "DLS cannot be
changed with current routing policy". If Lossless is enabled, the feature remains enabled until you
disable it with the dlsSet --disable -lossless command.
If DLS is already disabled, the command output confirms the disabled status: "DLS is not set
(unchanged)."
