Parameters

disruptive: Initiates a disruptive reconfiguration. If you do not specify this keyword, this command

initiates a non-disruptive reconfiguration.

Usage guidelines

The fabric reconfiguration occurs in the case of a network reconstruction (for example, two fabrics are

merged) or external intervention (for example, the administrator uses a command to initiate

reconfiguration). The fabric reconfiguration triggers principal switch selection, domain ID assignment,

and FC address assignment throughout the fabric.

The fabric reconfiguration includes the following categories:

• Disruptive reconfiguration—Floods the ReConfigure Fabric (RCF) frames throughout the fabric and

notifies all switches to perform a disruptive reconfiguration. During the reconfiguration procedure,

each switch clears all data for renegotiation, and data transmission in the fabric is disrupted.

• Non-disruptive reconfiguration—Floods the Build Fabric (BF) frames throughout the fabric and

notifies all switches to perform a non-disruptive reconfiguration. During the reconfiguration

procedure, each switch tries to save the last running data for its domain ID to remain unchanged.

Thus, data transmission in the fabric is not disrupted.

For fabric settings such as switch priority modification that are not immediately effective, perform a

disruptive reconfiguration to make them take effect.

This command is available only when the fabric configuration function is enabled.

Examples

# Configure the switch to initiate a disruptive reconfiguration in VSAN 1.
