switchCfgPersistentDisable

Disables a switch persistently.

Synopsis switchcfgpersistentdisable

Description Use this command to persistently disable the switch. All Fibre Channel ports are taken offline. If the

switch was part of a fabric, the remaining switches reconfigure. The switch remains disabled even

after a reboot.

The disable process can be observed and verified by watching the front panel LEDs change to slow

flashing yellow as each port is disabled.

A persistently disabled switch can be temporarily enabled using the switchEnable command. A

temporarily enabled switch remains disabled after a reboot.

Performance Monitoring cannot be added to any port on a persistently disabled switch.

The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place.

Operands none

Examples To disable a switch persistently:

switch:admin> switchcfgpersistentdisable
