Repair Information
Set the Director Online or Offline
This section describes procedures to set the director online or offline. These operating
states are described as follows:
• Online–When the director is set online, an attached device can log in to the
director if the port is not blocked. Attached devices can communicate with each
other if they are configured in the same zone.
• Offline–When the director is set offline, all ports are set offline. The director
transmits the offline sequence (OLS) to attached devices, and the devices cannot
log in to the director.
NOTE: When the director is set offline, the operation of attached Fibre Channel devices is
disrupted. Do not set the director offline unless directed to do so by a procedural step or the
next level of support.
