F-Port commissioning
Although you can use any of the following methods to access the F-Port commissioning commands, individual
procedures only include one method.
• From the main menu, select the F-Port in the Product List or Topology, then select Configure > Port
Commissioning > Decommission/Recommission > Port.
• From the Product List, right-click the F-Port and select Decommission/Recommission > Port.
• From the Topology, right-click the F-Port and select Decommission/Recommission > Port.
• From a Dashboard widget, right-click the F-Port and select Decommission/Recommission > Port.
Decommissioning an F-Port
NOTE
You must configure at least one CIMOM server (refer to “Registering a CIMOM server” on page 5) before you can
decommission an F-Port.
NOTE
Fabric tracking must be enabled (refer to Brocade Network Advisor User Manual “Enabling fabric tracking” on
page 289) to maintain the decommissioned port details (such as port type, device port WWN, and so on). Do not
accept changes in the Management application client.
1. Select the F-Port in the Product List, then select Configure > Port Commissioning > Decommission > Port.
The Port Commission Confirmation dialog box displays.
2. Choose one of the following options:
• Apply Default Settings (default) — Select to have the Management application contact all registered CIMOM
servers within the fabric affected by the action and obtain the status from each CIMOM server. If all CIMOM
servers are reachable, the Management application sends a CAL Request to decommission the port. If even
one CIMOM server is not okay, decommissioning fails.
NOTE
If any CIMOM server is not reachable or the credentials fail, F-Port decommission does not occur.
