Using Dynamic Ports On Demand (DPOD)
DPOD functionality does not require a predefined assignment of ports. Port assignment is determined
by the total number of ports in use as well as the number of purchased ports.
In summary, the DPOD feature simplifies port management by:
• Automatically detecting HBA connected server ports or cabled ports
• Automatically enabling ports
• Automatically assigning port licenses
To initiate DPOD, use the licensePort command, as described in DPOD commands, page 29.
IMPORTANT:
For the Brocade 8Gb SAN Switch, DPOD works only if the server blade is installed with an HBA
present. A server blade that does not have a functioning HBA will not be treated as an active link for
the purpose of initial POD port assignment.
DPOD commands
Use the licensePort command to manage dynamic POD assignments with the following options:
• licensePort –reserve portnum reserves a future license assignment for a specific port,
even if the port is currently offline.
• licensePort –release portnum removes a license from a port.
• portCfgPersistentDisable blocks a specific port from future assignments.
• licensePort -show displays an overview of the POD license status and port assignments.
