DESCRIPTION Use this command to enable or disable the autodisable feature for a specified port or a range of ports
and to manage the configuration. If the ports are already in the requested configuration, no action is
taken. If a range of ports is specified, some of which are already in the requested configuration, no action
is taken for those ports. All other ports in the specified range are updated. Execution of this command is
nondisruptive.
The autodisable feature is by default disabled for all ports.
The port autodisable feature minimizes traffic disruption introduced in some instances of automatic port
recovery. When the autodisable flag is set, you can specify the conditions that will prevent the port to
reinitialize. Such conditions include loss of sync, loss of signal, OLS, NOS, and LIP. Refer to the operand
section for an explanation of these conditions. Note that a link reset does not cause a port autodisable.
When a port is in FICON Management Server (FMS) mode, an autodisabled port remains persistently
disabled across High Availability (HA) failover. In all cases, you can bring the automatically disabled port
back into service using the portEnable command.
NOTES 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.
This command is not supported on GbE ports, VE_Ports, logical interswitch links (LISLs), or FCoE ports.
