portCfgPersistentDisable portCfgPersistentDisable Persistently disables a port or a range of ports. Synopsis portcfgpersistentdisable portcfgpersistentdisable [slot/]port1[-port2] [...] portcfgpersistentdisable -i [index1[-index2] [...] [-f]] portcfgpersistentdisable -x [hex1[-hex2] [...] [-f]] portcfgpersistentdisable -slot [slot1[-slot2] [...] portcfgpersistentdisable [slot/]port -r disable_reason_string portcfgpersistentdisable -h Description Use this command to persistently disable a port or a range of ports. 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. You can identify a single port to be configured by its port number or by its port index number in decimal or hexadecimal format. Port ranges are supported with port numbers, index numbers (decimal or hexadecimal) or by specifying a slot or a slot range. Use switchShow for a listing of valid ports, slots, and port index numbers. When used without operands, this command displays all persistently disabled ports on the switch. Specifying multiple ports with the index number (-i or -x) or slot (-s) option is supported only if PortSwap is disabled. They are not supported on GbE ports and configured F_Port trunks. Use the -i option without a port index argument to display the portSwap status, or alternately use portSwapShow. The persistent disable configuration overrides existing port configurations, but it does not change these 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 do not enable a specific port or ports alone, but these commands succeed on a switch with one or more persistently disabled ports. The portEnable command fails when issued on persistently disabled ports. The persistent switch disable or enable configuration does not alter the persistent disable or enable configurations of the ports within the switch. Because ports are by default persistently enabled, the persistently disabled state of a port is cleared by the portCfgDefault command. Notes This command is blocked 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 restrictions that may be in place. Refer to "Using Fabric OS Commands" and "Command Availability" for details. This command is not supported on FCoE ports. To disable an FCoE port, use fcoe --disable. 716 Brocade Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1004112-02
