change switch mode from Distributed to Local-Only

Hi Colleagues ,

we have a VDX6740 brocade switch which shows the following output :

sw0# sh vcs
Config Mode : Distributed
VCS Mode : Logical Chassis
VCS ID : 1
….

is there any command(s) to make it read :

sw0# show vcs
Config Mode : Local-Only
VCS Mode : Fabric Cluster
VCS ID : 1

……..

Hi ,

6740 with SW version > NOS 7.1x only supports Logical Chassis Mode (LC) .

So for VCS Fabric Cluster mode you probably need to downgrade the switch. However that SW version would be out of support .

Actual SW version is 7.4.1x ( LC )
