switchEnable

switchEnable
Enables all user ports on a switch.
SYNOPSIS
switchenable
DESCRIPTION
Use this command to enable all user ports on a switch. All Fibre Channel ports that passed the power-on
self test (POST) are enabled. They can come online if connected to a device, or remain offline if
disconnected. Use switchEnable to re-enable the switch after making configuration changes or running
offline diagnostics.
If the switch is connected to a fabric, it rejoins the fabric. If the switch remains the principal switch, it
assigns itself a domain ID. If another switch assumes the principal role, then the re-enabled switch
becomes a subordinate switch and accepts a domain ID from the principal.
As each port is enabled, the front panel LED changes to green for online ports, or to amber for
uninitialized ports. Disconnected ports remain unlit.
When this command is executed on a logical switch, only the ports allocated to the logical switch are
enabled. To enable the entire chassis, use the chassisEnable command.
NOTES
This command also enables the ports of a disabled blade on the switch.
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.
