portCfgPersistentDisable
Persistently disables a port.
Synopsis portcfgpersistentdisable [[slot/]port]
Description Use this command to persistently disable a port, or use this command without operands to display
the persistently disabled status of all ports on the switch.
Persistently disabled ports remain disabled across power cycles, switch reboots, and switch
enables. By default, a port is enabled persistently, unless the port is capable of routing. The change
in configuration is effective immediately. Use portCfgshow to display the persistently disabled
status of a port.
The persistent disable configuration overrides existing port configurations Use the
portCfgPersistentEnable command to enable a port persistently and to restore all previously set
port configurations for that port.
The switch still runs power-on diagnostics and initializes a persistently disabled port. The
portEnable, switchEnable, and bladeEnable commands fail when executed on a a persistently
disabled port.
The persistent switch disable or enable configuration does not alter the persistent disable or
enable configurations of the ports within the switch.
Because the default state of the port is persistently enabled, the persistent disable state is cleared
by the portCfgDefault command.
Notes This command is not allowed if the switch is operating in the FICON Management Server mode
(fmsmode); instead, use portDisable with Active=Saved mode enabled.
The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer
to chapter1, "Understanding Admin Domain Restrictions" and Appendix A, "Command Availability"
for details.
Operands This command has the following operands:
slot For bladed systems only, specify the slot number of the port to configure,
followed by a slash (/).
port Specify a port number to configure, relative to its slot for bladed systems. Use
switchShow to display a list of valid ports. This operand is optional; if omitted,
this command displays the persistently-disabled condition for all ports.
Examples To configure a port as persistently disabled and then display all ports that are permanently
disabled:
switch:admin> portcfgpersistentdisable 9/3
switch:admin> portcfgpersistentdisable
Slot 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
