Obtaining the Dynamic POD assignments

To display the Dynamic POD assignments, issue the <show>/<dpod> action located in the
urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-license namespace. The reply provides a summary of the POD
license status.

In the following example, all 24 ports are licensed and potentially available. Currently, the three
unassigned ports are disabled persistently, and therefore are not assigned to any Dynamic POD
license port set.

Overriding Dynamic POD assignments

You can override the automatic port license assignments by releasing Dynamic POD assignments
from a port and by reserving an assignment for a specific port.

Reserving a port assignment

Reserving an assignment for a port assigns that port to a POD license regardless of whether the
port is online or offline. Reserving assignments allocates the POD license to specified ports. This
operation overrides automatic port assignments. The reserved assignment will not be available to
other ports that come online. To reserve an assignment for a port, a free assignment must be
available.
