portCfgFlogiLogout
Enables the Base Device Logout functionality on the port.
SYNOPSIS portcfgflogilogout --enable [slot/]port | -all
portcfgflogilogout --disable [slot/]port | -all
portcfgflogilogout --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to enable or disable Base Device Logout functionality on a specified port or port
range. By default, the functionality is disabled on all the ports.
This functionality allows NPIV devices to remain logged in even after the base device logs out.
A base device is a device on a F_Port which has the base PID. The base device logs in with a FLOGI.
The execution of this command is disruptive. The online ports will toggle with this command but prompts
for user confirmation if any port is online.
You cannot configure the Base Device Logout functionality if the standby device is running on a lower
version of the firmware.
The feature is not supported on ICL ports. You cannot enable this feature on the ports that do not support
NPIV capability or if NPIV is disabled by configuration.
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.
