Enable a blade.
Synopsis
bladeenable [slotnumber]
Availability

Release
V4.1.x
Description
Use this command to enable a blade. All Fibre Channel ports within the blade
which did not fail POST are enabled. These ports may 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. After this command is
issued, the 10-second Fabric stability countdown is displayed. If this switch
remains the Principal switch at the end of the countdown, then 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.
To observe and verify the enable process, watch the front panel LEDs change from
slow flashing yellow as each port is enabled. The LEDs change to green for online
ports, may remain black for disconnected ports, or change to yellow for ports that
do not initialize.
Note: A blade cannot be disabled or enabled when the switch is disabled.
