Working With the Core Switch 2/64 Basic Blade Management For the purposes of this section, Basic Blade Management refers to: ■ Disabling a Blade on page 115 ■ Enabling a Blade on page 116 ■ Powering On a Blade on page 116 ■ Powering Off a Blade on page 116 ■ Displaying the Status of All Slots in the Chassis on page 118 ■ Displaying Information on Switch FRUs on page 119 ■ Setting the Blade Beacon Mode on page 123 Disabling a Blade The ability to disable a blade might be needed to perform diagnostics. When diagnostics are executed manually (from the Fabric OS command line), many commands require the blade to be in an offline state. This ensures that the activity of the diagnostic does not interfere or disturb normal fabric traffic. If the blade is not in an offline state (bladedisable), the diagnostic command will not run and display an error message. To disable a blade: 1. Log into the switch as the admin user. 2. At the command line enter the slotoff command with the following syntax: slotoff slotnumber where slotnumber is the slot number of the blade you want to disable. Example switch:admin> slotoff 3 Slot 3 is being disabled switch:admin> Fabric OS Procedures Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide 115
