setContext 2 setContext Synopsis Sets the logical switch context to a specified FID. setcontext FID Description Use this command to set the logical switch context to a specified fabric ID (FID). The FID uniquely defines a partition as a logical switch. Use lscfg --show -cfg to display currently configured partitions and their FIDs. A logical switch context defines the boundaries within which a user can execute commands in a Virtual Fabric-aware environment. In a Virtual Fabric-aware environment, all commands are context-specific. When a user executes a switch-wide command, the command applies to the current logical switch context. On legacy platforms, or if a logical switch context is not set explicitly, switch commands apply to the default logical switch context (FID 128). When the context is changed, switch-wide commands apply to the new logical switch context. You must have chassis permissions to access all logical switches in the chassis and to use the setContext command to change the current context to any partition configured on the chassis. A user without chassis permissions can change contexts only within the list of FIDs specified in the user's access permissions. Refer to userConfig for more information. Notes 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. If a logical switch FID is deleted, users logged into that switch are logged out. Operands This command has the following operand: FID Specifies the fabric ID of the logical switch instance for which the context is set. Examples To change the logical switch context to FID 20: switch:admin> setcontext 20 See Also lsCfg, userConfig Fabric OS Command Reference 799 53-1001337-01
