Bladedisable - Brocade Communications Systems 8 Command Reference Manual

bladeDisable

Disables all user ports on a blade.
Synopsis bladedisable slot
Description Use this command to disable all user ports on a blade. All Fibre Channel ports on the blade are
taken offline. If the switch was connected to a fabric through this blade, the remaining switches
reconfigure, and the switch reconfigures based on the other blade ports. As each port is disabled,
the front panel LED changes to a slow flashing yellow.
After issuing bladeDisable on a slot in a chassis, switchShow displays the user ports in the disabled
state. The blade is still shown as enabled in both switchShow and slotShow output.
The blade must be disabled before making configuration changes or before running many of the
diagnostic tests. The blade does not need to be disabled before rebooting or powering off.
You cannot disable a blade when the blade is faulted, powered off, or running diagnostics.
This command disables the ports on a single blade. To disable the ports in an entire chassis, use
the chassisDisable command.
Note 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.
