The following sections tell how to identify ports on HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director, HP
StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director, and HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director Switch
enterprise-class platforms, and how to identify ports for zoning commands.

Port identification by slot and port number

The port number is a number assigned to an external port to give it a unique identifier in a switch.
To select a specific port in the HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director and HP StorageWorks DC SAN
Backbone Director, and HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director Switch enterprise-class platforms, you must
identify both the slot number and the port number using the format slot number/port number. No spaces
are allowed between the slot number, the slash (/), and the port number.
The following example shows how to enable port 4 on a blade in slot 2:
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the portEnable command.
switch:admin> portenable 2/4
