Brocade Fabric OS Command Reference 111

chassisDisable

Disables all user ports in a chassis.

Synopsis chassisdisable [-force]

Description Use this command to disable a Virtual Fabric-aware chassis. All Fibre Channel ports are taken offline. This

command prompts for confirmation unless the -force option is used. If the chassis is partitioned into logical

switches that are part of logical fabrics, the remaining switches in these fabrics reconfigure. As each port is

disabled, the front panel LED changes to a slow-flashing amber.

You must disable the chassis before making configuration changes or running offline diagnostic tests. Commands

that require the chassis to be disabled generate an error message if invoked while the chassis is enabled. It is not

necessary to disable a chassis before rebooting or powering off the switch.

To disable the ports of a single logical switch, use the switchDisable command. To disable the ports of a single

blade, use the bladeDisable command.

Notes 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.

Operands -force

Disables the chassis without confirmation. This operand is optional.

Examples To disable a chassis:

switch:admin> chassisdisable

This command can cause disruption to\

multiple logical switches.
