fcrDisable
Disables the FC Routing service on a switch.
Synopsis fcrdisable
Description Use this command to disable Fibre Channel (FC) routing on a switch.
This command can be run while the switch state is “online”. Instead of disabling the switch, issue this
command to disable the FC Routing service only, then change the BB fabric ID using fcrConfigure.
Issue fcrEnable to turn FC Routing on.
To run this command, all enabled EX_Ports and VEX_Ports on the switch must be “offline”, using either
portCfgEXPort or portCfgVEXPort. If there are enabled EX_Ports or VEX_Ports when fcrDisable is
issued, then the following message is displayed: “Please disable all EX/VEX_Ports first before running
fcrDisable command.”
If an XPath OS switch is in the BB, it might take up to 8 minutes to complete the disable process. If you
attempt to enable the feature too soon, the following message is displayed: “FC Routing service is in the
process of being disable, please try again after a few minutes.” If the feature is disabled already, the
following message is displayed: “FC Routing service is already disabled.”
Use switchShow or fosConfig to display the current state of the FC Routing service
Operands none
