Synopsis bladedisable slotnumber
Description Use this command to disable all user ports on a blade. All ports on the blade are taken offline. If
the switch was connected to a fabric through this blade, the remaining switches reconfigure, and
this switch will configure based on the other blade ports.
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.
Observe and verify the disable process by watching the front panel LEDs change to slow flashing
yellow as each port of the blade disables.
A blade cannot be disabled or enabled when the switch is disabled or when the blade itself is
faulted, powered off, or running diagnostics.
The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place.
