Decommissioning an E_Port
NOTE
You must enable Lossless DLS on both the source and destination switches before you
decommission an E_Port.
NOTE
Fabric tracking must be enabled (refer to “Enabling fabric tracking” on page 133) to maintain the
decommissioned port details (such as port type, device port WWN, and so on). Do not accept
changes in the Management application client.
Select the E_Port in the Product List, and then select Configure > Port Commissioning >
Decommission > Port.
While decommissioning is in progress, a down arrow icon displays next to the port icon in the
Product List. You can view the port commissioning results in the deployment reports (refer to
“Viewing a port commissioning deployment report” on page 539).
When the decommission is complete, an application event displays in the Master Log detailing
success or failure.
Recommissioning an E_Port
NOTE
You do not need to enable Lossless DLS before you recommission an E_Port.
Select the E_Port in the Product List, and then select Configure > Port Commissioning >
Recommission > Port.
While recommissioning is in progress, an up arrow icon displays next to the port icon in the Product
List. You can view the port commissioning results in the deployment reports (refer to
“Viewing a
port commissioning deployment report” on page 539).
When the recommission is complete, an application event displays in the Master Log detailing
success or failure.
