Description Use this command to enable or disable the autodisable feature for a specified port or a range of ports and to
manage the configuration. If the ports are already in the requested configuration, no action is taken. If a range of
ports is specified, some of which are already in the requested configuration, no action is taken for those ports. All
other ports in the specified range are updated. Execution of this command is nondisruptive.
The autodisable feature is by default disabled for all ports.
Use the --suspend and --resume options respectively to temporarily suspend and resume the configuration in the
current logical switch. These states are persistent across reboots and HA failover.
The port autodisable feature minimizes traffic disruption introduced in some instances of automatic port recovery.
When the autodisable flag is set, you can specify the conditions that will prevent the port to reinitialize. Such
conditions include loss of sync, loss of signal, OLS, NOS, and LIP. Refer to the operand section for an explanation
of these conditions. Note that a link reset does not cause a port autodisable. When a port is in FICON Management
Server (FMS) mode, an autodisabled port remains persistently disabled across High Availability (HA) failover. In all
cases, you can bring the automatically disabled port back into service using the portEnable 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.
This command is not supported on GbE ports, VE_Ports, logical interswitch links (LISLs), or FCoE ports.
Operands This command has the following operands:
slot
