NOTES

The features described may not be supported on all platforms. If you attempt to enable a feature that is
not supported on your platform, an error message stating "Command not supported on this platform" is
displayed.

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
details.

OPERANDS

This command has the following operands:

--enable feature

Enables a feature on the switch. Valid values for feature include the following:

fcr

Enables the FC Routing service on the switch. The FC Routing service is disabled
by default. Use fosConfig --show to determine if FCR is enabled or disabled,

When enabling FCR, you may encounter one of the following system messages:

"FC Routing service is in the process of being disabled, please try again after a
few minutes."
This means that a command to disable the FC Routing service is
still in progress. Wait a few minutes and try again.

"FC Routing service is already enabled." This means that the FC Routing service
is already enabled.

iSCSI

Not supported in Fabric OS v7.0.0 and later.

iSNSC

Not supported in Fabric OS v7.0.0 and later.

vf

Enables Virtual Fabrics. By default, Virtual Fabrics are disabled. Before enabling
the Virtual Fabrics, ensure that there are no Administrative Domains (ADs) in
effect. Administrative Domains must be disabled before enabling Virtual Fabrics.
This command prompts for confirmation, because the chassis reboots after this
command is executed.
