https://community.hpe.com/t5/bladesystem-general/can-you-disable-a-fibre-channel-pass-thru-module-port/m-p/5149754#M15288 Thanks. <BR />I looked in the BIOS but didn't see any obvious way to disable the Emulex card on the blades. Under PCI devices I didn't see anything that looked like the right ticket. Any clues on what I might be looking for? <BR /><BR /> Sun, 11 Jan 2009 11:56:47 GMT Tim Munn 2009-01-11T11:56:47Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/bladesystem-general/can-you-disable-a-fibre-channel-pass-thru-module-port/m-p/5149752#M15286 Hi -<BR />I''m trying to remotely disable the fibre channel link to our SAN for one of my blade systems and the Onboard Admin lets you look but seemingly not change. Trying a CLI connection to the FC InterConnect gets me "Serial connection is not supported". Do I have any other option than just unplugging the fibre?<BR /> <BR />It is a HP 4Gb Fibre Channel Pass-thru Module for c-Class BladeSystem<BR /><BR />Any help will be greatly appreciated.<BR /><BR /> Sat, 10 Jan 2009 15:18:12 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/bladesystem-general/can-you-disable-a-fibre-channel-pass-thru-module-port/m-p/5149752#M15286 Tim Munn 2009-01-10T15:18:12Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/bladesystem-general/can-you-disable-a-fibre-channel-pass-thru-module-port/m-p/5149753#M15287 Hi,<BR /><BR />No You can't modify the pass-thru module. There is no "intelligence" inside. You can disable FC ports on server BIOS or from Your SAN switch. Also operating system installed in blade could give you tools to shut down the device/port Sun, 11 Jan 2009 11:48:59 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/bladesystem-general/can-you-disable-a-fibre-channel-pass-thru-module-port/m-p/5149753#M15287 JKytsi 2009-01-11T11:48:59Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/bladesystem-general/can-you-disable-a-fibre-channel-pass-thru-module-port/m-p/5149754#M15288 Thanks. <BR />I looked in the BIOS but didn't see any obvious way to disable the Emulex card on the blades.

All you can do is change interrupts in the PCI Device BIOS config.
