Port Object Commands

/cx/px remove [noscan] [quiet]

This command allows you to remove (or export) a port (or drive) /cx/px. Exporting a port instructs the firmware to remove the specified port from its pool of managed ports, but does not retain the DCB (Disk Configuration Block) metadata on the attached disk. You can import (or re-introduce) the port by rescanning the controller.

noscan is used to not inform the operating system of this change. The default is to inform the operating system.

quiet is for non-interactive mode.

Warning: Use caution when using this command as this operation will degrade any redundant units. This command will fail if you attempt to remove a drive from a non-redundant unit. After the drive is removed in CLI it can be removed physically, without powering down the system if a hot swap carrier is available. System hangs and damage can occur if a hot swap carrier is not used.

/cx/px set identify=onoff

This command applies only to 9550SX, 9590SE, and 9650SE model controllers.

This command sets the LED status of the port to on or off. If identify is set to on, the firmware activates the setting of the corresponding LED of the port on the controller and causes it to blink.

Note: This command is equivalent to “/ex/slotx set identify=onoff” on page 90.

Note: This feature requires an enclosure that uses an integrated AMCC/3ware CCU (chassis control unit). (Check the 3ware web site for a list of chassis vendors that support enclosure services, as they become available.) For additional information about enclosure-related commands, see “Enclosure Object Commands” on page 87.

Example:

//localhost> /c0/p5 set identify=on

Setting Port Identify on /c0/p5 to [on] ... Done.
