dlsShow
Displays the setting of Dynamic Load Sharing (DLS).
SYNOPSIS
dlsshow
DESCRIPTION
Use this command to display information about Dynamic Load Sharing configuration settings on the
switch. Depending on the configuration, the command output displays one of the following messages:
•
DLS is set with Lossless enabled - DLS is enabled with the Lossless feature. Load sharing is
recomputed with every change in the fabric, and existing routes can be moved to maintain optimal
balance. In Lossless mode, no frames are lost during this operation.
•
DLS is set with Lossless disabled - DLS is enabled without the Lossless feature. Load sharing is
reconfigured with every change in the fabric, and existing routes can be moved to maintain optimal
balance. No attempt is made to prevent frames from being lost while load sharing is recomputed.
•
DLS is not set with Lossless disabled - DLS is disabled and the Lossless option is disabled.
Existing routes are never moved to maintain optimal balance. If the Lossless option was enabled
before you disabled DLS, it is now disabled as well. This means, frame loss is not prevented during
a load sharing recomputation.
Refer to dlsSet for a description of load sharing.
This command also displays the status of the E_Port Balance Priority feature on the switch. If the feature
is enabled, the message "E-port Balance Priority is set" displays. If the feature is disabled, the message
"E-port Balance Priority is not set" displays.
NOTES
The Lossless feature is not supported on GbE ports and FCoE ports. On unsupported platforms, this
command exits with an appropriate message.
On platforms that do not support the E_Port Balance Priority feature, the command output indicates that
the feature is not supported.
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.
