3 bufOpMode bufOpMode Changes or displays the Buffer Optimized Mode. SYNOPSIS bufopmode --set slot -f bufopmode --reset slot bufopmode --show slot bufopmode --showall DESCRIPTION Use this command to display or change the buffer optimized mode on a switch. When buffer optimized mode is enabled on a slot, additional buffers are allocated on the internal ports. Use this feature, if you have slow draining devices connected to the slot and there are no long distance links on that slot.
bufOpMode 3 To display current buffer optimized mode for a single slot switch:admin> bufopmode --show 12 Slot 12: buffer optimized mode - On To enable buffer optimized mode for a given slot: switch:admin> bufopmode --set 11 The operation is not supported when the slot is online switch:admin> bufopmode --reset 12 The operation is not supported when the slot is online switch:admin> slotpoweroff 11 switch:admin> slotpoweroff 12 switch:admin> bufopmode --set 12 Buffer optimized mode is turned on for slot 11
3 portCfgFaultDelay portCfgFaultDelay Configures the fault delay for a single FC port. SYNOPSIS portcfgfaultdelay --enable [slot/]port mode portcfgfaultdelay --help DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure the fault delay of an FC port. In the event that the link is noisy after a host power cycle, the switch may go into a soft fault state, which means a delay of R_A_TOV. Setting the mode value to 1 reduces the fault delay value to 1.2 seconds.
