2 portCfgPersistentDisable portCfgPersistentDisable Synopsis Persistently disables a port. portcfgpersistentdisable [[slot/]port] Description Use this command to persistently disable a port, or use this command without operands to display the persistently disabled status of all ports on the switch. 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. Use portCfgshow to display the persistently disabled status of a port. The persistent disable configuration overrides existing port 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 fail when executed on a persistently disabled port. The persistent switch disable or enable configuration does not alter the persistent disable or enable configurations of the ports within the switch. Because the default state of the port is persistently enabled, the persistent disable state is cleared by the portCfgDefault command. Notes This command is not allowed 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. Operands This command has the following operands: slot For bladed systems only, specify the slot number of the port to configure, followed by a slash (/). port Specify a port number to configure, relative to its slot for bladed systems. Use switchShow to display a list of valid ports. This operand is optional; if omitted, this command displays the persistently-disabled condition for all ports. Examples To configure a port as persistently disabled and then display all ports that are permanently disabled: switch:admin> portcfgpersistentdisable 9/3 switch:admin> portcfgpersistentdisable Slot 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Disabled - - - YES (output truncated) See Also ficonCupSet, ficonCupShow, portCfgDefault, portDisable, portEnable, portCfgPersistentEnable, portShow, switchShow 574 Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1001186-01
