I have a production vSwitch with a back-up OSA, and I¹d like to take out the back-up OSA for a moment and test it separately from its normal vSwitch.
If I redefine a vSwitch on the fly, will it go ³down² for any amount of time while reconfiguring? Or for that matter, can I even do a DEFINE command for a currently active vSwitch at all? My current definition looks like this: q vswitch vswg VSWITCH SYSTEM VSWG Type: VSWITCH Connected: 36 Maxconn: INFINITE PERSISTENT RESTRICTED PRIROUTER Accounting: OFF VLAN Unaware MAC address: 02-00-00-00-00-01 State: Ready IPTimeout: 5 QueueStorage: 8 Portname: OSASUE2 RDEV: 8A00 Controller: DTCVSW1 VDEV: 8A00 RDEV: 8B00 VDEV: 8B00 Controller: DTCVSW2 BACKUP Ready; T=0.01/0.01 14:31:53 Could I issue the command ³CP DEFINE VSWITCH VSWG RDEV 8A00 IP PRIROUTER² without disrupting the current traffic on the vSwitch? -- Robert P.
