Disabling a Blade
The ability to disable a blade might be needed to perform diagnostics. When
diagnostics are executed manually (from the Fabric OS command line), many
commands require the blade to be in an offline state. This ensures that the activity
of the diagnostic does not interfere or disturb normal fabric traffic. If the blade is
not in an offline state (bladedisable), the diagnostic command will not
run and display an error message.
To disable a blade:
1. Log into the switch as the admin user.
2. At the command line enter the slotoff command with the following
syntax:
slotoff slotnumber
where slotnumber is the slot number of the blade you want to disable.
Example
switch:admin> slotoff 3
Slot 3 is being disabled
switch:admin>
