Persistent enabling and disabling ports

Use the following procedure to enable or disable an FC port so that it remains enabled or disabled

across switch reboots.

NOTE

Ports cannot be persistently enabled or disabled when FMS is enabled.

1. Click a port in the Switch View to open the Port Administration window.

2. Click the FC Ports or GigE Ports tab.

3. From the tree on the left, click the switch or slot that contains the port.

4. From the table, select one or more ports.

Use Shift-click and Ctrl-click to select multiple ports. You can select multiple ports from the

table. You cannot select multiple ports from the tree.

5. Click the Persistent Enable or Persistent Disable button.

If the button is gray (unavailable), the port is already in that state. For example, if the Persistent

Enable button is unavailable, the port or ports are already persistently enabled over reboots.

If you select multiple ports in both enabled and disabled states, both buttons are active. When

you click either button, the action is applied to all selected ports.

6. Click Yes in the confirmation window.

Enabling and disabling NPIV ports

The NPIV license must be installed on a switch before NPIV functionality can be enabled on any

port.

NOTE

NPIV enable/disable is not supported on EX_Ports.

For detailed information about understanding and configuring NPIV ports, see the Fabric OS

Administrator’s Guide. With Web Tools, you can only enable or disable the NPIV functionality on a

port.

Enabling NPIV ports

1. Click a port in the Switch View to open the Port Administration window.

2. Click the FC Ports tab.

3. From the tree on the left, select the logical port you want to enable.

4. Click the Enable NPIV button.

The button is unavailable if NPIV is already enabled on the port.
