22 dlsReset dlsReset SYNOPSIS Disables Dynamic Load Sharing (DLS). dlsreset DESCRIPTION Use this command to disable Dynamic Load Sharing. If DLS is turned off, load sharing calculations are used only to place new routes. Once placed, existing routes are never moved from one output E_Port to another, unless the original output E_Port is no longer a recognized path to the remote domain. Optimal balance is rarely achieved with this setting. Refer to the dlsSet help page for a full description of load sharing options, including the Lossless feature. The behavior of this command depends on the routing policies configured on the switch: • If a port-based routing policy is in place, DLS is disabled by default, and dlsReset returns the DLS setting to default. If Lossless was enabled, this command removes the Lossless option along with the DLS feature and returns a message stating that "DLS is not set". • If an exchange-based routing policy is in place, DLS is always enabled. It cannot be disabled and the dlsReset command fails. The command generates a message stating that "DLS cannot be changed with current routing policy". If Lossless is enabled, the feature remains enabled until you disable it with the dlsSet --disable -lossless command. • If DLS is already disabled, the command output confirms the disabled status: "DLS is not set (unchanged)." Refer to aptPolicy for information on routing policies. NOTES The Lossless feature is not supported on GbE ports and FCoE ports. On unsupported platforms, this command exits with an appropriate message. 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.
