agautomapbalance --help

Description Use this command to control the automatic rebalancing of F_Ports for login distribution in the event that an F_Port

goes offline or an N_Port comes online.

If automatic rebalancing is enabled, and an F_Port goes offline, the remaining F_Port logins are redistributed

across the existing N_Ports. Similarly if a new N_Port comes online, some of the F_Port logins being routed

through existing N_Ports would be failed over to the new N_Ports. Both operations are potentially disruptive.

Disabling automatic rebalancing of login distribution provides a way of avoiding disruptions associated with routine

F_Port/N_Port offline/online events.

The default values for agautomapbalance are as follows:

• Disable automatic login redistribution when F_Ports go offline.

• Enable automatic login redistribution when N_Ports come online.

Use the --show option to display the current configuration of the automatic rebalancing feature. The command

output varies depending on current AG policy settings:

• If Port Group Policy is enabled on the switch, the command displays the following information for each

configured port group:

- PG_ID - Port Group number

- LB mode - Login Balancing mode: enabled or disabled

- nport - Enabled or disabled

- fport- Enabled or disabled

• If Auto Policy is enabled on the switch, the command displays the status of the automatic rebalancing feature

per port type as either disabled or enabled.

Notes The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric restrictions that may be in place. Refer to "Using Fabric

OS Commands" and "Command Availability" for details.
