2 Note: Enter commands in lowercase only; mixed case is for readability. chassisConfig chassisConfig Displays or sets the configuration of the chassis. Synopsis chassisconfig [-f][option] Description Use this command to set the chassis configuration for products that support both single-switch and dualswitch operation. Each configuration specifies whether the chassis runs as one logical switch or two; and the port blade ID that is permitted on each logical switch. Any port blade ID that does not match the current configuration is considered incompatible, and does not power up. When no arguments are provided, this command displays the current configuration of the chassis as well as a list of the supported configurations. When a specific option is provided to this command, all CPs currently in the system are immediately rebooted, returning in the mode the user has specified. This can result in some blades being faulted as incompatible, based on the new configuration option. This command rejects without causing a reboot, if an option is not supported by the platform. Of the following options, SilkWorm 24000 directors support options 1 and 2 and SilkWorm 48000 directors support options 1 and 5: 1 One 128-port switch (blade ID 4, 17 on slots 1 - 4 and 7 - 10; blade ID 5, 16 on slots 5 - 6) 2 Two 64-port switches (blade ID 4 on slots 1 - 4 and 7 - 10; blade ID 5 on slots 5 - 6) 5 One 384-port switch (Blade ID 17, 18, 24, 31, 36 in slots 1-4, 7-10, Blade ID 16 in slots 5-6) Use the slotShow command to display the current set of blades in the system. When the system changes from single to multiple domains and vice versa, configuration parameters that are not compatible are restored to factory defaults. The configuration data includes, but not limited to routing, port swap, fabric, zoning, port configuration, passwords, security, Brocade Fabric Watch, management server, time server, SNMP, performance monitoring, and general Brocade Fabric OS configuration values. It is recommended that the current configuration be saved using configUpload as a guide for adjustments after the configuration change. Certain configuration values that are not considered switch based and determined not to cause adverse effects are left untouched for user convenience. These include SSL certificates, PKI certificates, licenses, and IP address. When the -f (force) option is omitted, this command prompts for user consent to proceed further with the configuration change. It also prompts the user to upload the configuration data to a host so it can be used as a guide to re-establishing the configuration data in the new mode. Use the -f option to proceed without the interactive step. Unless the chassis is currently configured as Option 1 (a single 128-port switch with SilkWorm blade IDs 4 and 17 and CP blade IDs 5 and 16), both CP blades should always contain firmware that supports this command. Use of earlier versions adversely affects switch operation. Because this is a disruptive operation and has profound effect on the behavior of the chassis, it needs to be used selectively. Users running secure mode should be particularly careful in using this command to change the number of domains on the local chassis, because security is disabled on all resulting local switches. These switches are not able to participate in a secure fabric until secure mode is restored. Therefore, the fabric should have a primary FCS outside this chassis, to manage security throughout the fabric during this transition. 2-72 Fabric OS Command Reference Manual Publication Number: 53-1000240-01
