126 Fabric OS Command Reference

53-1002746-01

chassisEnable

Enables all user ports in a chassis.

SYNOPSIS chassisenable

DESCRIPTION Use this command to enable a Virtual Fabric-aware chassis. All Fibre Channel ports that passed the

power-on self test (POST) are enabled. They may come online if connected to a device, or remain offline

if disconnected. Use chassisEnable to re-enable the chassis after making configuration changes or

running offline diagnostics.

If the chassis is partitioned into multiple logical switches and physically connected to multiple logical

fabrics, the logical switches rejoin their fabrics.

As each port is enabled, the front panel LED changes from slow-flashing amber to nonflashing green for

online ports, or to nonflashing amber for ports that do not initialize. Disconnected ports remain unlit.

Loopback ports slowly flash green when online.

NOTES 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.
