portCfgPersistence
Sets or removes the persistent disable flag on a port or a range of ports.
SYNOPSIS
portcfgpersistence --set [-persistentenable | -pe] [-persistentdisable | -pd] [slot/]port1[-port2] [...]
portcfgpersistence --set [-persistentenable | -pe] [-persistentdisable | -pd] -i [index1[-index2] [...] [-f]]
portcfgpersistence --set [-persistentenable | -pe] [-persistentdisable | -pd] -x [index1[-index2] [...]
[-f]]
portcfgpersistence --set [-persistentenable | -pe] [-persistentdisable | -pd] -slot [slot1[-slot2] [...]
portcfgpersistence -h
DESCRIPTION
Use this command to set or remove the persistent disable flag on a port or a range of ports.
You can identify a single port to be configured by its port number or by its port index number. Port ranges
are supported with index numbers or by specifying a slot or a slot range. Use switchShow for a listing of
valid ports, slots, and port index numbers.
Specifying multiple ports with the index (-i), (-x), or slot (-s) option is supported only if portSwap is
disabled. They are not supported on GbE ports and configured F_Port trunks. Use the -i option without a
port index argument to display the portSwap status, or alternately use portSwapShow.
This command only sets or removes the flag for persistent disabling of the port. The switch still runs
power-on diagnostics and initializes a persistently disabled port. The portEnable, switchEnable, and
bladeEnable commands do not enable a specific port or ports alone, but these commands succeed on a
switch with one or more persistently disabled ports.
The persistent switch disable or enable configuration does not alter the persistent disable or enable
configurations of the ports within the switch.
Because ports are by default persistently enabled, the persistently disabled state of a port is cleared by
the portCfgDefault command.
NOTES
This command is blocked if the persistent disable flag is set when the port is currently enabled.
This command is blocked if the switch is operating in the FICON Management Server mode (fmsmode);
instead, use portDisable with Active=Saved mode enabled.
This command is not supported on FCoE ports. To disable an FCoE port, use fcoe --disable.
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.
OPERANDS
This command has the following operands:
slot
On bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the ports to set the flag,
followed by a slash (/).
port1[-port2]
Sets the flag for a single port or a range of ports identified by port numbers. The
port range cannot span slots, but you can specify multiple port range pairs
separated by a space, for example 3/1-4 4/7-9.
-f
Ignores nonexisting ports.
