I have Cisco Nexus 9396PX switch and running OSPF configuration and now i want to tell all switch interface to not participate in ospf adjacency except only specific interface, so i there any global command to tell all interface in passive.
Here is my config, only eth2/11 and eth2/12 are participating in ospf routing but i want to make sure it does not send OSPF update to all 48x10GE (all other 10G ports) in that case do i need to do "ip ospf passive-interface" on all interface?

No, you just need it for e2/11 and e2/12.

The easiest way to do this is by adding
ip ospf passive-interface
to both e2/11 & e2/12
So, neither interface with form adjacency.
You can also do it the other way too by adding
passive-interface default to OSPF and then add
"no ip ospf passive-interface" to each interface
but I like the first option.

ospf instance's command "passive-interface default" will override your configuration of interface
