Deleting a logical switch
The following rules apply to 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.
Use the following procedure to delete a logical switch:
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 moving ports on a logical
switch.”
3. Enter the lsCfg 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
A Logical switch with FID 7 will be deleted.
Would you like to continue [y/n]?:y
All active login sessions for FID 7 have been terminated.
Switch successfully deleted.
Adding and moving ports on a logical switch
This procedure explains how to add and move 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 320 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 on the
port in its new location, you must manually reinstall them on the port after the move.
Notes
• 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.
