Fabric OS Command Reference

53-1001764-02

fosConfig

Enables Virtual Fabrics. By default, Virtual Fabrics are disabled. Before
enabling the Virtual Fabrics, ensure that there are no Administrative Domains
(ADs) in effect. Administrative Domains must be disabled before enabling
Virtual Fabrics. This command prompts for confirmation, because the chassis
reboots after this command is executed.

ethsw

Enables the Ethernet switch service on the switch. The Ethernet switch
service is disabled by default. Enabling the Ethernet switch service does not
disrupt the FC traffic.

disable feature

Disables a feature on the switch. Valid values for feature are:

fcr

Disables the FC Routing service on the switch. All enabled EX_Ports and
VEX_Ports on the switch must be offline for this command to succeed.

To use this command to disable the FC Routing service only instead of
disabling the switch, issue this command, then change the BB fabric ID using
fcrConfigure.

When disabling the FCR service, you may encounter the following system
messages:

"Please disable all EX/VEX_Ports first before running this command." This
means that there were EX_Ports or VEX_Ports online when this command
was issued. Take these ports offline and try the command again.

"FC Routing service is already disabled" -This means that the FC Routing
service is already disabled.

iSCSI

Disables the iSCSI service on the switch.

iSNSC

Disables the iSNSC service on the switch.

Disables Virtual Fabrics on the switch. This command prompts for
confirmation, because the chassis reboots after this command is executed.

ethsw

Disables the Ethernet switch service. Ethernet switching is disabled by
default. This operation reboots the switch and is therefore disruptive. You
must disable the service before downgrading from Fabric OS v6.3.0 to v6.2.0.
