Changing Blade Properties
The Blade Properties dialog allows you to view and change the configured
administrative state and the blade type of the selected blades. To open the Blade
Properties dialog, open the Blade menu and select Blade Properties. I/O blades
and ports are selectable and serve as access points for other displays and menus.
You select I/O blades to display information about them in their respective data
windows or to modify them. Context-sensitive popup menus and properties
windows are accessible through the I/O blade and port icons.
Figure 5-4. Blade Properties Dialog
The I/O blade administrative state exists in two forms: the configured
administrative state and the current administrative state.
Configured administrative state — the state that is saved in the switch
configuration and is preserved across switch resets. Quick Tools always
makes changes to the configured administrative state.
Current administrative state — the state that is applied to the I/O blade for
temporary purposes and is not retained across switch resets. The current
administrative state is set using the Set Blade command. Refer to the
SANbox 9000 Series Stackable Chassis Switch Command Line Interface
Guide for more information.
To change I/O blade properties, do the following:
1. Open the faceplate display and click on one or more I/O blades.
2. Open the Blade menu and select Blade Properties to open the Blade
Properties dialog.
3. Select the blade state and blade type options and click the OK button.
