portSwap 2 portSwap Synopsis Swaps the port Address of two ports. portswap [slot1/]port1 [slott2/]port2 Description Use this command to swap the 24-bit port address (PID) for a pair of ports. Both ports must be disabled prior to executing this command and the port-swapping feature must be enabled using portSwapEnable. The result of this operation is persistent across reboots and power cycles. Use portSwapShow to display the swapped ports along with their new port address Port swap information is kept in its own database; it cannot be manipulated by editing the configuration database displayed by configShow and configUpload. To undo a previous port swap, execute portSwap again on the same two ports. Note 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. You cannot swap E_ports that are configured as part of a TI zone. The TI zone information is lost when you swap the E_ports. To work around this issue, reconfigure your TI zones rather than swapping the ports. Operands This command has the following operands: slot1 For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the first port whose area number is to be swapped, followed by a slash (/). port1 Specifies the number of the first port whose address is to be swapped, relative to its slot for bladed systems. Use switchShow to display a listing of valid ports. slot2 For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the second port whose area number is to be swapped, followed by a slash (/). port2 Specifies the number of the second port whose port address is to be swapped, relative to its slot for bladed systems.
