Releasing a port from a POD set Releasing a port removes it from the POD set; the port appears as unassigned until it comes back online. Persistently disabling the port ensures that the port cannot come back online and be automatically assigned to a POD assignment. After a port is assigned to a POD set, the port is licensed until it is manually removed from the POD port set using the licensePort --release command. When a port is released from its POD port set (Base, Single, or Double), it creates a vacancy in that port set. To release a port from a POD set: 1. Connect to the switch and log in on an account assigned to the admin role. 2. Issue the switchDisable command to take the switch offline. switch:admin> switchdisable 3. Issue the switchShow command to verify the switch state is offline. 4. Issue the licensePort --release command to remove the port from the POD license. switch:admin> licenseport --release 0 5. Issue the licensePort --show command to verify the port is no longer assigned to a POD set. switch:admin> licenseport --show 24 ports are available in this switch Full POD license is installed Dynamic POD method is in use 24 port assignments are provisioned for use in this switch: 12 port assignments are provisioned by the base switch license 12 port assignments are provisioned by a full POD license 10 ports are assigned to installed licenses: 10 ports are assigned to the base switch license 0 ports are assigned to the full POD license Ports assigned to the base switch license: 1*, 2*, 3*, 4*, 5*, 6*, 8*, 21, 22, 23 Ports assigned to the full POD license: None Ports not assigned to a license: 0, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 switch:admin> 6. Issue the switchEnable command to bring the switch back online. 7. Issue the switchShow command to verify the switch state is now online. Disabling and enabling switches By default, the switch is enabled after power is applied and diagnostics and switch initialization routines have finished. You can disable and reenable it as necessary. To disable a switch: 1. Connect to the switch and log in using an admin account. 2. Issue the switchDisable command. All Fibre Channel ports on the switch are taken offline. If the switch was part of a fabric, the fabric is reconfigured. To enable a switch: 1. Connect to the switch and log in using an admin account. 2. Issue the switchEnable command. All Fibre Channel ports that passed the POST test are enabled. If the switch has interswitch links (ISLs) to a fabric, it joins the fabric. 44 Standard features
