DESCRIPTION Use this command to enable or disable a feature, or to display the current operating status of features on
a switch. This command can be run while the switch is online.
The following features are supported (refer to the Notes for limitations):
• FC Routing service (see fcrConfigure)
• iSCSI service (not supported in Fabric OS v7.0.0 and later).
• iSNS client service (not supported in Fabric OS v7.0.0 and later).
• Virtual Fabrics (see lfCfg and lsCfg )
• Ethernet switching service
NOTES The features described may not be supported on all platforms. If you attempt to enable a feature that is
not supported on your platform, an error message stating "Command not supported on this platform" is
displayed.
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:
--enable feature
Enables a feature on the switch. Valid values for feature include the following:
fcr
Enables the FC Routing service on the switch. The FC Routing service is disabled
by default. Use fosConfig --show to determine if FCR is enabled or disabled,
When enabling FCR, you may encounter one of the following system messages:
"FC Routing service is in the process of being disabled, please try again after a
few minutes." This means that a command to disable the FC Routing service is
still in progress. Wait a few minutes and try again.
"FC Routing service is already enabled." This means that the FC Routing service
is already enabled.
iSCSI
Not supported in Fabric OS v7.0.0 and later.
iSNSC
Not supported in Fabric OS v7.0.0 and later.
vf
Enables Virtual Fabrics. By default, Virtual Fabrics are disabled. Before enabling
the Virtual Fabrics, ensure that there are no Administrative Domains (ADs) in
effect. Administrative Domains must be disabled before enabling Virtual Fabrics.
This command prompts for confirmation, because the chassis reboots after this
command is executed.
