Releasing a port
Releasing a port removes it from the POD set; the port will appear as unassigned until it comes back
online. Persistently disabling the port will ensure that the port cannot come back online and be
automatically assigned to a POD assignment.
To release a port from a POD set:
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the
switchDisable
command to take the switch offline.
3. Enter the
switchShow
command to verify that the switch state is offline.
4. Enter the
licensePort --release
command to remove the port from the POD license.
