The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
details.
OPERANDS --enable -lossless
Enables the Lossless feature. Frame loss is reduced while the path is rerouted. If
DLS is set on the switch, this command adds the Lossless feature to the existing
DLS legacy mode. If DLS is not set on the switch, this command enables both
DLS and the Lossless feature. The Lossless feature is disabled by default.
--disable -lossless
Disables the previously enabled Lossless feature. Execution of this command is
equivalent to the legacy dlsSet command. Dynamic load balancing is enforced
but not without frame loss. DLS (legacy mode) continues to be enabled after
Lossless is disabled. Use dlsReset to disable DLS completely.
