All Fibre Channel ports are taken offline; if the switch was part of a fabric, the remaining switches reconfigure. The switch must be disabled before making configuration changes (using configure or configDefault) or before running many of the diagnostic tests. All commands that require the switch to be disabled send an error if invoked while the switch is enabled. The switch does not need to be disabled before rebooting or powering off. As each port is disabled, the front panel LED changes to a slow flashing yellow. Note The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place.
