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

switchCfgPersistentEnable

Enables a switch persistently.
Synopsis
switchcfgpersistentenable
Availability
admin
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. See 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.
