Synopsis bladeenable slotnumber Description Use this command to enable all user ports on a blade. All 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 through previously disabled ports, it rejoins the fabric. If this switch remains the principal switch at the end of the fabric 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. Refer to 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 faulted, powered off, or running diagnostics. Persistently disabled ports are not enabled by this command. Note The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Operands This command has the following operand: slotnumber Specify the slot number to be enabled. 2-44 Fabric OS Command Reference Manual Publication Number: 53-1000240-01
