Blocking and Unblocking Ports
This section describes procedures to block or unblock director ports.
An entire port card 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.
Block a Port
(Management
Server)
To block a director port from the management server (Intrepid 6064
Element Manager application):
1. Notify the customer the port will be blocked. Ensure the customer
system administrator quiesces Fibre Channel frame traffic
through the port and sets the attached device offline.
2. At the management server, open the SAN management
application (SANavigator or EFCM).
3. At the SAN management application physical map, right-click
the product icon representing the director for which the port is to
be blocked, then select Element Manager from the pop-up menu.
The application opens.
4. Click the Hardware tab. The Hardware View for the selected
director displays.
5. Move the cursor over the port to be blocked and right-click the
mouse to open a list of menu options.
6. Select the Block Port menu option. A Warning dialog box displays
(Figure 4-26).
