Block and Unblock Ports
This section describes procedures to block or unblock director ports. An entire UPM
card (four ports) can be blocked or unblocked, or ports can be blocked or unblocked
on an individual basis. When a port is blocked, the port is automatically set offline.
When a port is unblocked, the port is automatically set online.
NOTE: When a director port is blocked, the operation of an attached Fibre Channel device is
disrupted. Do not block director ports unless directed to do so by a procedural step or the next
level of support.
