portCfgPersistentEnable 2 portCfgPersistentEnable Synopsis Persistently enables a port. portcfgpersistentenable [[slot/]port] Description Use this command to persistently enable a port or a range of ports, or use this command without operands to display the persistently disabled status of all ports on the switch. Persistently enabled ports remain enabled 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. This command re-enables all previously set port configurations of a specified port. A persistently enabled port can temporarily be disabled by the portDisable or switchDisable commands. The persistent switch disable or enable configuration does not alter the persistent disable or enable configurations of the ports within the switch. Notes If this port is connected to another switch, the Fabric may reconfigure. If this port is connected to one or more devices, the devices can now communicate with the Fabric. The configuration commands configDefault and portCfgDefault do not modify the persistent enable attribute of a port. This command is not allowed if the switch is operating in the FICON Management Server mode (fmsmode). Instead use portEnable with Active=Saved Mode enabled. For ports that come online after being enabled, the following indications may be sent to indicate a state transition: RSCN, SNMP trap, Web pop-up window. 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 enabled condition for all ports. Examples To configure a port as persistently enabled. switch:admin> portcfgpersistentenable 9/3 To display all ports that are persistently enabled: switch:admin> portcfgpersistentenable Slot 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Enabled YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES (output truncated) See Also ficonCupSet, ficonCupShow, portDisable, portEnable, portCfgPersistentDisable, portCfgShow, portShow, switchShow Fabric OS Command Reference 575 53-1001186-01
