Fabric OS Command Reference 97

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 yellow.

The chassis must be disabled before making configuration changes or before 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.

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.

Note 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.

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.
