switchCfgPersistentEnable

switchCfgPersistentEnable
Enables a switch persistently.
Synopsis switchcfgpersistentenable
Description Use this command to persistently enable a persistently disabled switch. All Fibre Channel ports
that passed the power-on self-test (POST) are enabled and come online if connected to a device, or
remain offline if disconnected. The switch may need to be enabled if it was previously disabled to
make configuration changes or to run diagnostics.
If the switch is connected to a fabric, it rejoins the fabric. If this switch remains the principal switch,
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. Refer to the FC-SW specification
for a complete description of this process.
The enable process can be observed and verified by watching the front panel LEDs change from
slow flashing yellow as each port is enabled. The LEDs change to green for online ports, or can
remain black for disconnected ports. Yellow indicates ports that do not initialize.
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.
