bladeEnable 2 bladeEnable Enables all user ports on a blade. SYNOPSIS bladeenable slot DESCRIPTION NOTES OPERANDS EXAMPLES 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 may come online if connected to a device, or remain offline if disconnected. Use the bladeEnable command to re-enable the blade after making configuration changes or running offline diagnostics. 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, it assigns itself a domain ID. If another switch assumes the principal role, the re-enabled switch becomes a subordinate switch and accepts a domain ID from the principal. As each port is enabled, the front panel LED changes from a slow-flashing amber to nonflashing green for online ports or to nonflashing amber for ports that do not initialize. Disconnected ports remain unlit. You cannot disable a single blade when the entire chassis is disabled, or when the blade itself is faulted, powered off, or running diagnostics. Use chassisEnable to enable the ports on an entire chassis. Persistently disabled ports are not enabled by this command. The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place.
