- -exclude yes -port
port_id -slot slot_id
enclosureid: The port that you specify with port_id

excluded_by_enclosure
,excluded_by_drive
, orexcluded_by_cluster
, this command appears to have no effect. However, if the current state of the port isonline
, then that state changes toexcluded_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

- 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)
Description
These commands enable you to modify the properties of an enclosure slot.Note: For systems
with NVMe drives, the physical removal of faulty drives (after the device is turned off) is
necessary to prevent the accidental powering on of the drive that might cause a recurrence
of the issue.
