Decommissioning an E_Port trunk
Select the E_Port trunk in the Product List, and then select Configure > Port Commissioning >
Decommission > Port or right-click E_Port trunk and select Decommission.
The decommission request is sent to all the trunk members including the master, If a
decommissioning request is triggered on a trunk level. An error message displays, if the trunk
group is the only connection between the switches.
While recommissioning a port, if the port is earlier a part of trunk group, it will recommission all the
decommissioned members of that trunk group.
Port commissioning by switch
Although you can use any of the following methods to access the port commissioning commands
for a switch, individual procedures only include one method.
•
From the main menu, select the switch in the Product List or Topology, and then select
Configure > Port Commissioning > Decommission/Recommission > All F-Ports on the Switch.
•
From the Product List, right-click the switch and select Decommission/Recommission > All
F-Ports on the Switch.
•
From the Topology, right-click the switch and select Decommission/Recommission > All F-Ports
on the Switch.
•
From a Dashboard widget, right-click the switch and select Decommission/Recommission > All
F-Ports on the Switch.
Decommissioning all ports on a switch
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.
1. Select the switch or logical switch for which you want to decommission all ports, and then
select Configure > Port Commissioning > Decommission > All F-Ports on the Switch.
NOTE
You can only decommission ports from the logical switch and not from the physical chassis. If a
CIMOM fails to respond then the request is marked as failed and all the requests in queue to
process for the CIMOM server are also marked as failed.
The Port Commission Confirmation dialog box displays.
2. Choose one of the following options:
•
Apply Default Settings (default) — Select to have the Management application contacts all
registered CIMOM servers within the fabric affected by the action and obtains the status
from each CIMOM server.
•
Force — Select to force the port decommission.
The Management application contacts all registered CIMOM servers within the fabric
affected by the action, but forces the port decommission regardless of the CIMOM server
response.
