Blade swapping
3
The preparation process also includes any special handling of ports associated with logical
switches. For example Figure 3 shows the source blade has ports in a logical switch or logical
fabric, then the corresponding destination ports must be included in the associated logical
switch or logical fabric of the source ports.

4. Port swapping
The swap ports action is effectively an iteration of the portSwap command for each port on the
source blade to each corresponding port on the destination blade.
In Figure 4 shows Virtual Fabrics, where the blades can be carved up into different logical
switches as long as they are carved the same way. If slot 1 and slot 2 ports 0-7 are all in the
same logical switch, then blade swapping slot 1 to slot 2 will work. The entire blade does not
need to be in the same partition.
