bladeEnable Enables all user ports on a blade. Synopsis bladeenable [slotnumber] Availability admin Description Use this command to enable all user ports on a blade. All Fibre Channel ports within the blade that did not fail the power-on self-test (POST) are enabled (except for persistently disabled ports); they might come online if connected to a device or remain offline if disconnected. If the switch is connected to a fabric, it rejoins the fabric. If this switch remains the principal switch at the end of the countdown, then it assigns itself a domain ID. If another switch assumes the principal role, then this switch becomes a subordinate switch and accepts a domain ID from the principal. See FC-SW for a complete description of this process. Observe and verify the enable process by watching the front-panel LEDs change from slow flashing amber as each port enables. The LEDs change to green for online ports, unlighted for disconnected ports, or amber for ports that do not initialize. NOTE: A blade cannot be disabled or enabled when the switch is disabled or when the blade itself is disabled (using slotOff), faulted, powered off, or running diagnostics. Persistently disabled ports are not enabled by this command. Operands This command has the following operand: slotnumber Specifies the slot number to be enabled. Examples To display the slot status, enable the user ports in slot 4, and verify the setting: switch:admin> slotshow Slot Blade Type ID Status 1 SW BLADE 2 ENABLED 2 UNKNOWN VACANT 3 UNKNOWN VACANT 4 SW BLADE 2 ENABLED (User Ports Disabled) 5 CP BLADE 1 ENABLED 6 CP BLADE 1 ENABLED 7 SW BLADE 2 ENABLED (continued on next page) Fabric OS 5.x command reference guide 65
