fcrDisable

Disables the FC Routing service on a switch.

This command is not supported in v5.3.0; instead use fosConfig.

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

Examples To disable the FC Routing service:

fcr:admin> fcrdisable

FC Routing service is disabled
