chassisEnable

Enables all user ports in a chassis.

SYNOPSIS

chassisenable

DESCRIPTION

Use this command to enable a Virtual Fabric-aware chassis. All Fibre Channel ports that passed the
power-on self test (POST) are enabled. They may come online if connected to a device, or remain offline
if disconnected. Use chassisEnable to re-enable the chassis after making configuration changes or
running offline diagnostics.

If the chassis is partitioned into multiple logical switches and physically connected to multiple logical
fabrics, the logical switches rejoin their fabrics.

As each port is enabled, the front panel LED changes from slow-flashing amber to nonflashing green for
online ports, or to nonflashing amber for ports that do not initialize. Disconnected ports remain unlit.
Loopback ports slowly flash green when online.

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.
