portCfgPersistentDisable
Disables a port persistently.
Synopsis portcfgpersistentdisable [slotnumber/]portnumber
Description Use this command to persistently disable a port. Persistently disabled ports remain disabled across power
cycles, switch reboots, and switch enables. By default, a port is enabled persistently. The change in
configuration is effective immediately.
The persistent disable configuration overrides all other port configurations but it does not change the
configuration of any other port settings. Use the portCfgPersistentEnable command to enable a port
persistently. A persistent-enabled port reenables all previously set port configurations of that port.
The switch still runs power-on diagnostics and initializes a persistently disabled port. The portEnable
command fails when directed to a persistently disabled port. The switchEnable command does not
enable the persistently disabled ports of that switch, and the bladeEnable command does not enable the
persistently disabled ports of that blade.
The persistent switch disable or enable configuration does not alter the persistent disable or enable
configurations of the ports within the switch.
Because the default state of the port is persistently enabled, the persistent disable state is cleared by the
portCfgDefault command.
This command is not allowed if the switch is operating in the FICON Management Server mode
(fmsmode); instead, use portDisable with Active=Saved mode enabled.
Operands This command has the following operands:
slotnumber For bladed systems only, specify the slot number of the port to configure, followed
by a slash (/).
portnumber Specify a port number to configure, relative to its slot for bladed systems. Use
switchShow to display a list of valid ports. This operand is optional; if omitted,
this command displays the persistently-disabled condition for all ports.
Examples To configure a port as persistently disabled and then display all ports that are permanently disabled:
