bladeDisable

bladeDisable
Disables all user ports on a blade.
SYNOPSIS
bladedisable slot
DESCRIPTION
Use this command to disable all user ports on a blade. All Fibre Channel ports on the blade are taken
offline. If the switch was connected to a fabric through this blade, the remaining switches reconfigure,
and the switch reconfigures based on the other blade ports. As each port is disabled, the front panel LED
changes to a slow-flashing amber.
After issuing bladeDisable on a slot in a chassis, switchShow displays the user ports in the disabled
state. The blade is still shown as enabled in both switchShow and slotShow output.
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.
You cannot disable a blade when the blade is faulted, powered off, or running diagnostics.
This command disables the ports on a single blade. To disable the ports in an entire chassis, use the
chassisDisable command.
NOTES
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
