Switchenable - HP StorageWorks 2/64 - Core Switch Command Reference Manual

switchEnable

Enables the switch.
Synopsis
switchenable
Availability
admin
Description
Use this command to enable the switch. All Fibre Channel ports that passed POST are enabled. They can
come online if connected to a device, or will remain offline if disconnected. Use
disable the switch to make configuration changes or to run diagnostics.
If the switch is connected to a fabric, it rejoins the fabric. When this command is issued, the 10-second
fabric stability countdown is displayed. If this switch remains the principal switch at the end of the
countdown, then it assigns itself a domain ID. If another switch assumes the principal role, then this switch
becomes a subordinate switch and accepts a domain ID from the principal. See FC-SW for a complete
description of this process.
As each port is enabled, the front panel LED changes to green for online ports, black for disconnected
ports, or yellow for uninitialized ports.
