How to configure Fiber Channel Port Admin State to Disabled

[srehling]

Is there a way to change the admin state of a fiber channel port using UCS PowerTool? I can see the ports with the following command:

get-UcsFiFcPort

All I want to do is set the admin state for all ports to disabled from UCS PowerTools. The following is one of the ports I need to modify. This is for a cleanly loaded pair of Fabric Interconnects. I just need to shutdown the ports so there are no errors when the fabrics are first configured for a lab.

To disable (obviously adjust for your switch, slot, and port):

Get-UcsFiSanCloud -Id "A" | Get-UcsFcUplinkPort -SlotId 1 -PortId 32 | Set-UcsFcUplinkPort -AdminState "disabled" -FillPattern "arbff"

To enable:

Get-UcsFiSanCloud -Id "A" | Get-UcsFcUplinkPort -SlotId 1 -PortId 32 | Set-UcsFcUplinkPort -AdminState "enabled" -FillPattern "arbff"

This is really easy to find out.  After you have launched UCS Manager, from the same system on which you are running, open a PowerTool window and execute the command ConvertTo-UcsCmdlet.  Then anything you do in the UCS Manager GUI is shown as PowerTool cmdlets in the PowerTool window.

Greatly appreciated. That was exactly what I needed.
