Use the chenclosureslot command to modify the properties of an
enclosure slot.
Syntax
chenclosureslot { -identify { yes | no } | [ -exclude { yes | no } [ -portport_id ] [ -force ] ] } -slot slot_id enclosure_id
Note: - Optional parameters are mutually exclusive.
- You can only specify -port or -force when you
also specify -exclude.
- Exactly one of the optional parameters must be set.
- Using -force has an effect on the operation of -exclude
yes.
Parameters
- -identify yes | no
- (Optional) Change the state of fault light-emitting diode (LED) to or from
slow_flashing.
- -exclude yes | no
- (Optional) Ensures that an enclosure slot port is excluded. The following list gives details of the options you can use with
this parameter:
- -exclude yes -port
port_id -slot slot_id enclosureid: The port that you specify with port_id
is excluded. If the current state of the port is excluded_by_enclosure,
excluded_by_drive, or excluded_by_cluster, this command
appears to have no effect. However, if the current state of the port is
online, then that state changes to excluded_by_cluster.
The port remains excluded until you rerun this command with no selected.
Attention: This command checks for dependent volumes. If issuing this command
would result in losing access to data, then the command fails and an error message
displayed. You can use the -force flag to ignore these errors, but
this might result in loss of access to data.
- -exclude no -port
port_id -slot slot_id enclosureid: The port is put into online state, provided
there are no other reasons to exclude the port. If you issue this command when the port is
online, then it has no effect. However, if you issue this command when the
port is excluded, then the port state does one of the following items:
- Change to online status immediately.
- Change to online status after all other reasons for the port to be
excluded have been removed.
- -exclude yes | no -slot
slot_id enclosureid: If you issue this command without defining a port, the
command simultaneously acts on both ports.
- -port 1 | 2
- (Optional) Specifies the port on the canister to be excluded. If it is not specified,
-exclude acts on both ports.
- -force
- (Optional) Forces the port on the canister to be excluded.
Important: Using the
-force parameter might result in a loss of access. Use it only under the
direction of your product support information.
- -slot slot_id
- (Required) Specifies the slot ID. The value must be a number from 1 -
92.
The slots are numbered 1 (leftmost) to 24 (rightmost) when viewed from in front of the
enclosure, in 24-slot enclosures. In 12-slot enclosures, the slots are arranged in numerical
order in three rows with four slots. For example, the:
- First row contains slots 1, 2, 3, and 4 (in that order)
- Second row contains slots 5, 6, 7, and 8 (in that order)
- Third row contains slots 9, 10, 11, and 12 (in that order)
- enclosure_id
- (Required) The enclosure that the slot is a member of.
