Set the Switch Online or Offline
This section describes procedures to set the switch online or offline.
These operating states are described as follows:
• Online - When the switch is set online, an attached device can log
in to the switch if the port is not blocked. Attached devices can
communicate with each other if they are configured in the same
zone.
• Offline - When the switch is set offline, all switch ports are set
offline. The switch transmits the offline sequence (OLS) to
attached devices, and the devices cannot log in to the switch.
NOTE: When the switch is set offline, the operation of attached Fibre
Channel devices is disrupted. Do not set the switch offline unless directed to
do so by a procedural step or the next level of support.
Set Online State
To set the switch online from the SANpilot interface:
1. When the SANpilot interface opens, the View panel and Switch
page appear as the default. At the View panel, select the Operations
option at the left side of the panel. The Operations panel opens
with the Switch page displayed.
2. Click the Online State tab. The Switch page displays with the
Online State tab selected (Figure 4-18 on page 4-26).
