## Class Methods

### Local Class Methods

#### Decommission (uint32)

#### Method Qualifiers (Decommission)

Name | Data Type | Value
--- | --- | ---
Description | string | Requests the fibre channel port represented by an instance of this class to be taken into the decommissioned state. The decommissioned state is an intended offline state, so the system does not attempt to take the port back online as part of any automated recovery actions. This method supports a normal mode of operation and a forceful mode of operation. In the normal mode of operation, it behaves gracefully by not decommissioning the port if this would cause any functional disruption. In the forceful mode of operation, it decommissions the port even if this causes functional disruptions. This method shall return one of the following return values: 0 (Success): The port was decommissioned. 1 (Other error): The port was not decommissioned because some other error occurred. 2 (Denied: Port is in use): The port was not decommissioned because it is currently in use. This reason for denying the decommissioning request shall be used only in the normal mode of operation. 3 (Denied: Port is last path to device): The port was not decommissioned because it is the last path to a device. This reason for denying the decommissioning request shall be used only in the normal mode of operation.
Experimental | boolean | true
ValueMap | string | 0, 1, 2, 3, .., 0x8000..
Values | string | Success, Other error, Denied Port is in use, Denied Port is last path to device, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Reserved

#### Method Parameters (Decommission)

#### Recommission (uint32)

#### Method Qualifiers (Recommission)

Name | Data Type | Value
--- | --- | ---
Description | string | Requests the fibre channel port represented by an instance of this class to be taken online after it was previously decommissioned. This method shall return one of the following return values: 0 (Success): The port was taken online. 1 (Other error): The port was not taken online because some other error occurred. 2 (Denied: Port not decommissioned): The port was not taken online because the port is not currently in the decommissioned state.
Experimental | boolean | true
ValueMap | string | 0, 1, 2, .., 0x8000..
Values | string | Success, Other error, Denied Port not decommissioned, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Reserved
