22 portCfgCompress portCfgCompress Configures a port for compression. SYNOPSIS portcfgcompress --enable [slot]/port portcfgcompress --disable [slot]/port portcfgcompress --help DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure a port for compression. This command enables or disables the compression configuration on the specified port, and saves the configuration persistently. Configuring a port for compression is disruptive. You must disable the port before you can enable compression on the port. This command fails on an enabled port. The number of configurable ports is limited per ASIC. Use the portEncCompShow for a listing of configurable ports per ASIC. NOTES This command is supported only on E_Ports. An E_Port can be enabled for compression and for encryption at the same time. When you move a configured port to another logical switch, you are informed that the operation requires the port configuration to be disabled. You are given the choice to cancel the move or to continue. If you want to go ahead with the move and the port is configured for encryption or compression, you must disable the configuration prior to moving the port. You must reconfigure the port on the target switch if you want to use compression or encryption on that port. This command is supported only on Condor 3-based platforms running Fabric OS v7.0.0 or later. 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. OPERANDS This command has the following operands: slot On bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the ports to be configured, followed by a slash (/). port Specifies the port to be configured. --enable Enables the compression configuration on the specified port. --disable Disables the compression configuration on the specified port. --help Displays the command usage.
