portCfgPersistentDisable

portCfgPersistentDisable
Persistently disables a port or a range of ports.
SYNOPSIS
portcfgpersistentdisable
portcfgpersistentdisable [slot/]port1[-port2] [...]
portcfgpersistentdisable -i [index1[-index2] [...] [-f]]
portcfgpersistentdisable -slot [slot1[-slot2] [...]
portcfgpersistentdisable -h
DESCRIPTION
Use this command to persistently disable a port or a range of ports. Persistently disabled ports remain
disabled across power cycles, switch reboots, and switch enables. By default, a port is enabled
persistently, unless the port is capable of routing. The change in configuration is effective immediately.
You can identify a single port to be configured by its port number or by its port index number. Port ranges
are supported with index numbers or by specifying a slot or a slot range. Use switchShow for a listing of
valid ports, slots, and port index numbers. When used without operands, this command displays all
persistently disabled ports on the switch.
Specifying multiple ports with the index (-i) or slot (-s) option is supported only if PortSwap is disabled.
They are not supported on GbE ports and configured F_Port trunks. Use the -i option without a port index
argument to display the portSwap status, or alternately use portSwapShow.
The persistent disable configuration overrides existing port configurations, but it does not change these
configurations. Use the portCfgPersistentEnable command to enable a port persistently and to restore
all previously set port configurations for that port. The switch still runs power-on diagnostics and
initializes a persistently disabled port. The portEnable, switchEnable, and bladeEnable commands do
not enable a specific port or ports alone, but these commands succeed on a switch with one or more
persistently disabled ports. The portEnable command fails when issued on persistently disabled ports.
The persistent switch disable or enable configuration does not alter the persistent disable or enable
configurations of the ports within the switch.
Because ports are by default persistently enabled, the persistently disabled state of a port is cleared by
the portCfgDefault command.
NOTES
This command is blocked if the switch is operating in the FICON Management Server mode (fmsmode);
instead, use portDisable with Active=Saved mode enabled.
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
details.
This command is not supported on FCoE ports. To disable an FCoE port, use fcoe --disable.
OPERANDS
This command has the following operands:
slot
port1[-port2]
674
On bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the ports to be disabled
persistently, followed by a slash (/).
Persistently disables a single port or a range of ports identified by port numbers.
The port range cannot span slots, but you can specify multiple port ranges pairs
separated by a space, for example 3/1-4 4/7-9.
