switchDisable
Disables the switch.
Synopsis switchdisable
Description Use this command to disable the switch. All Fibre Channel ports are taken offline; if the switch was part
of a fabric, the remaining switches reconfigure.
The switch must be disabled before making configuration changes (using configure or configDefault)
or before running many of the diagnostic tests. All commands that require the switch to be disabled send
an error if invoked while the switch is enabled.
The switch does not need to be disabled before rebooting or powering off.
As each port is disabled, the front panel LED changes to a slow flashing yellow.
