switchCfgPersistentEnable

switchCfgPersistentEnable
Enables a switch persistently.
Synopsis switchcfgpersistentenable
Description Use this command to persistently enable the switch. All Fibre Channel ports which did not fail
power-on self-test (POST) are enabled, and can come online if connected to a device, or remain
offline if disconnected. The switch might 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. After this command is issued, the 10
second fabric stability count down is displayed. If this switch remains the principal switch at the
end of the count down, 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.
Refer to FC-SW 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, or yellow for ports that do not initialize.
The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place.
Operands none
