Bladeenable - HP StorageWorks 2/64 - Core Switch Command Reference Manual

bladeEnable

Enables all user ports on a blade.
Synopsis
bladeenable [slotnumber]
Availability
admin
Description
Use this command to enable all user ports on a blade. All Fibre Channel ports within the blade that did
not fail the power-on self-test (POST) are enabled (except for persistently disabled ports); they might come
online if connected to a device or remain offline if disconnected.
If the switch is connected to a fabric, it rejoins the fabric. If this switch remains the principal switch at the
end of the countdown, 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. See FC-SW for a
complete description of this process.
Observe and verify the enable process by watching the front-panel LEDs change from slow flashing amber
as each port enables. The LEDs change to green for online ports, unlighted for disconnected ports, or
amber for ports that do not initialize.
NOTE: A blade cannot be disabled or enabled when the switch is disabled or when the blade itself is
disabled (using slotOff), faulted, powered off, or running diagnostics.
Persistently disabled ports are not enabled by this command.
