Deleting a logical switch
You must remove all ports from the logical switch before deleting it.
You cannot delete the default logical switch.
NOTE
If you are in the context of the logical switch you want to delete, you are automatically logged out
when the fabric ID changes. To avoid being logged out, make sure you are in the context of a different
logical switch from the one you are deleting.
1. Connect to the physical chassis and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Remove all ports from the logical switch, as described in “Adding and removing ports on a
logical switch.”
3. Enter the following command to delete the logical switch:
lscfg --delete fabricID
The fabricID parameter is the fabric ID of the logical switch to be deleted.
Example of deleting the logical switch with FID 7
switch_4:FID4:admin> lscfg --delete 7
All active login sessions for FID 7 have been terminated.
Switch successfully deleted.
Adding and removing ports on a logical switch
This procedure explains how to add and remove ports on logical switches.
You add ports to a logical switch by moving the ports from one logical switch to another. See
“Supported platforms for Virtual Fabrics” on page 224 for port restrictions.
If you want to remove a port from a logical switch, you cannot remove it from the logical switch; you
must move the port to a different logical switch.
When you move a port from one logical switch to another, the port is automatically disabled. Any
performance monitors that were installed on the port are deleted. If monitors are required in the
new logical switch, you must manually reinstall them on the port after the move.
NOTE
If the logical switch to which the port is moved has fabric mode Top Talkers enabled, then if the port
is an E_Port, fabric mode Top Talker monitors are automatically installed on that port.
