switchCfgPersistentEnable

Enables a switch persistently.

SYNOPSIS

switchcfgpersistentenable

DESCRIPTION

Use this command to persistently enable a persistently disabled switch. All Fibre Channel ports that
passed the power-on self-test (POST) are enabled and come online if connected to a device, or remain
offline if disconnected. The switch may need to be enabled if it was previously disabled to make
configuration changes or to run diagnostics.

If the switch is connected to a fabric, it rejoins the fabric. If this switch remains the principal switch, it
assigns itself a domain ID. If another switch assumes the principal role, then this switch becomes a
subordinate switch, and accepts a domain ID from the principal. Refer to the FC-SW specification for a
complete description of this process.

As each port is enabled, the front panel LEDs change from slow-flashing amber to green for online ports,
or to nonflashing amber for ports that do not initialize. Disconnected ports remain unlit.

NOTES

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.
