Modified commands in Network OS Command Reference

Modify the following commands in the Network OS Command Reference Supporting Network OS
v2.1.1 (53-1002492-01), originally published in December 2011.

dpod

Manages Dynamic Ports on Demand (POD) assignments.

Synopsis

dpod rbridge-id/slot/port {reserve | release}

Operands

rbridge-id

Specifies a switch by its RBridge identifier.

slot

Specifies the slot number.

port

Specifies the port number.

reserve

Reserves a POD assignment for a port that is currently not able to come
online but is expected to be viable in the future. A port license assignment
that is reserved will be associated with the first port set that has a vacancy.

release

Removes a port from the port set to which it is currently assigned.

Defaults

This command has no default values.

Command

Modes

Global configuration mode.

Description

Use this command to manage Dynamic POD assignments.

A port POD assignment can only be released if the port is currently offline. Use the shutdown
command to take the port offline.

Usage

Guidelines

Do not release a port unless you plan to disconnect the optical link or disable the port persistently.
If the link (server or optical) is left in a state where the port could be brought online, the Dynamic
POD mechanism will detect this unassigned port and attempt to reassign it to a port set.

This command has no effect on a Brocade 6710. The VDX 6710 does not require POD licenses.

The Brocade VDX 8700 does not support Dynamic PODs.

Examples

To reserve a POD assignment on RBridge 5 of a Brocade VCS Fabric cluster:

switch(config)# dpod 5/0/10 reserve

switch(config-dpod-5/0/10)# exit

switch(config)# dpod 5/0/11 reserve

switch0(config-dpod-5/0/11)# exit

To remove a port from a POD port set:

switch(config)# dpod 5/0/10 release

switch(config-dpod-5/0/10)# exit

switch(config)# dpod 5/0/11 release

switch(config-dpod-5/0/11)# exit
