dlsShow
Displays the setting of the Dynamic Load Sharing (DLS) option.
SYNOPSIS
dlsshow
DESCRIPTION
Use this command to display information about Dynamic Load Sharing configuration settings on the
switch. Depending on the configuration, the command output displays one of the following messages:
•
DLS is set - DLS is enabled without the Lossless feature. Load sharing is reconfigured with every
change in the fabric, and existing routes can be moved to maintain optimal balance. No attempt is
made to prevent frames from being lost while load sharing is recomputed.
•
DLS is not set - DLS is disabled. Existing routes are never moved to maintain optimal balance. If
the Lossless option was enabled before you disabled DLS, it is now disabled as well. This means,
frame loss is not prevented during a load sharing recomputation.
•
DLS is set with Lossless enabled - DLS is enabled with the Lossless feature. Load sharing is
recomputed with every change in the fabric, and existing routes can be moved to maintain optimal
balance. In Lossless mode, no framers are lost during this operation.
•
DLS is set by default with current routing policy. DLS is set with Lossless enabled - Indicates
that the current routing policy (Exchange-based) requires DLS to be enabled by default. In addition,
the Lossless option is enabled. Frame loss is prevented during a load sharing recomputation.
Refer to dlsSet for a description of load sharing.
NOTES
The Lossless feature is not supported on GbE ports and FCoE ports. On unsupported platforms, this
command exits with an appropriate message.
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
