Disables all user ports on a blade.
Synopsis
bladedisable [slotnumber]
Availability
admin
Description
Use this command to disable all user ports on a blade. All Fibre Channel ports are taken offline. If the
switch was connected to a fabric through this blade, the remaining switches reconfigure, and this switch
will configure based on the other blade ports.
The blade must be disabled before making configuration changes or before running many of the
diagnostic tests.
The blade does not need to be disabled before rebooting or powering off.
Observe and verify the disable process by watching the front panel LEDs change to slow flashing yellow
as each port of the blade disables.
NOTE: A blade cannot be disabled or enabled when the switch is disabled or when the blade itself is
disabled (using slotOff), faulted, powered off, or running diagnostics.
Operands
This command has the following operand:
bladeDisable
slotnumber Specifies the slot number on which the ports are to be disabled.
