fosExec
Executes any Fabric OS command on a specified remote domain or logical switch context or on all
remote domains or logical switches.
SYNOPSIS
fosexec --fid FID -cmd "cmd [args]"
fosexec --fid all [-force] -cmd "cmd [args]"
fosexec --domain DID -cmd "cmd [args]"
fosexec --domain all -cmd "cmd [args]"
DESCRIPTION
Use this command to execute any Fabric OS command on a specified remote domain or logical switch
context or on all remote domains or 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 target remote domain is identified by its Domain ID (DID). When used with the --domain all option,
the specified command is executed in all remote domains.
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.
Use the configure command to set the Remote Fosexec feature. By default, the Remote Fosexec
feature is disabled.
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.
