2 bladeDisable bladeDisable Synopsis Disables all user ports on a blade. bladedisable slotnumber Description Use this command to disable all user ports on a blade. All ports on the blade are taken offline. If the switch was connected to a fabric through this blade, the remaining switches reconfigure, and this switch will reconfigure based on the other blade ports. As each port is disabled, the front panel LED changes to a slow flashing yellow. 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. If Virtual Fabrics are not enabled on the switch, and slotShow is issued after a blade has been disabled, the blade is displayed as ENABLED (User Ports disabled) as shown in the example below. When executing bladeDisable in Virtual Fabric mode, slotShow displays the Blade as ENABLED, , because ports may not be physically located on the local switch. Note 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 operand: slotnumber Specifies the slot number for which the ports are to be disabled.
