chassisDisable

Disables all user ports in a chassis.

SYNOPSIS

chassisdisable [-force]

DESCRIPTION

Use this command to disable a Virtual Fabric-aware chassis. All Fibre Channel ports are taken offline.
This command prompts for confirmation unless the -force option is used. If the chassis is partitioned into
logical switches that are part of logical fabrics, the remaining switches in these fabrics reconfigure. As
each port is disabled, the front panel LED changes to a slow-flashing amber.

You must disable the chassis before making configuration changes or running offline diagnostic tests.
Commands that require the chassis to be disabled generate an error message if invoked while the
chassis is enabled. It is not necessary to disable a chassis before rebooting or powering off the switch.

To disable the ports of a single logical switch, use the switchDisable command. To disable the ports of a
single blade, use the bladeDisable command.

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.

OPERANDS

-force

Disables the chassis without confirmation. This operand is optional.

EXAMPLES

To disable a chassis:
