This article gives information on the attributes that are changed when we tell an IP Domain to NOT manage a port.
SMARTS - 10.1.X
When we tell an IP Domain to NOT manage a port (through dmctl or GUI), two properties are set on the port.
For troubleshooting purposes, we have shown what to look for in the logs.
NOTE: You will have to set the discovery debug commands to on and then you will see this type of activity in the domain log:
[2016/05/03 15:15:06 +026ms] t@2648770880 Discovery #14

NOTE: The above comments are because of the ic-post-port-manager.asl which is the script responsible for managing and un-managing ports.
