Disable trunking configuration
Prerequisites
Make sure that redundant SAN I/O paths exist for all active servers.
Procedure
-
Remove the trunk areas on the upstream Brocade switch. For more information, see the user documentation for the Brocade switch. For each uplink set, on the odd-numbered bays, use the following steps to remove the trunk area on the Brocade Switch.
NOTE: An outage occurs on each uplink set and Fibre Channel network while the ports are disabled to remove the trunk area.
- Disable the ports connected to the uplink set using the portdisable command.
- Disable the port trunk area for the ports using the porttrunkarea --disable <port-range> command.
- Enable the ports using the portenable command.
- Verify that a trunk is no longer formed using the trunkshow command to display all trunks on the switch.
- Repeat these steps for each remaining uplink set.
- Edit the logical interconnect groups and update the uplink set for the even-numbered bays only. Make sure to disable trunking on each uplink set.
- For each logical interconnect associated with the logical interconnect group, perform an update from group to make the logical interconnect consistent with the logical interconnect group.
- Repeat the above steps for the even-numbered bays.
