switchCfgPersistentDisable

Disables a switch persistently.

SYNOPSIS switchcfgpersistentdisable

switchcfgpersistentdisable --setdisablestate

switchcfgpersistentdisable --disable

switchcfgpersistentdisable --help

DESCRIPTION Use this command to persistently disable the switch immediately or after reboot. All Fibre Channel ports

are taken offline. If the switch was part of a fabric, the remaining switches reconfigure. The switch

remains disabled even after a reboot.

As each port is disabled, the front panel LEDs change to a slow-flashing amber.

You can temporarily enable a persistently disabled switch with the switchEnable command. A

temporarily enabled switch remains disabled after a reboot.

NOTES Performance Monitoring cannot be added to any port on a persistently disabled switch.

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.
