qlPartner

Sets QuickLoop partner or displays information about partner.

Synopsis qlPartner [0|wwn]

Availability admin

Description Use this command to set the QuickLoop to single/dual switch mode or to display the QuickLoop

scope setting.

If no argument is specified, this command displays the current QuickLoop mode, which can be

single or dual switch. If in dual switch mode, the partner’s WWN also displays.

If 0 is used as argument, this command sets the QuickLoop to run in single switch mode, and

restarts the switch if this causes a change in mode.

If a non-zero and valid WWN (a WWN that is part of the fabric) for a switch is specified, that

switch becomes the QuickLoop partner. The switch is then restarted to run in dual switch mode.

The partner setting is updated in flash memory.

Note: If Zoning is in use the qlDisable, qlEnable, and qlPartner commands are not in effect. In

this case, dual switch QuickLoops can be managed using the telnet commands available

through Zoning.

Operands This command has the following operand:

[0 | wwn] Specify 0 to set the QuickLoop to run on single switch. Specify a WWN to set

the QuickLoop to run on dual switches. This operand is optional.

If no operand is specified the current value is displayed.
