Swapping port area IDs

If a port malfunctions, or if you want to connect to different devices without having to rewire your

infrastructure, you can move a port’s traffic to another port (swap port area ID) without changing

the I/O Configuration Data Set (IOCDS) on the mainframe computer.

To swap port area IDs, refer to the “Swapping port area IDs” procedure in the Fabric OS

Administrator’s Guide.

For more detail on the following commands that you will use to swap port area IDs, refer to the

Fabric OS Command Reference Manual:

• portSwapEnable

• portDisable

• portSwap

• portSwapShow

• PortSwapDisable
