Unique Area FC IDs for HBAs

Read this section only if the Host Bus Adapter (HBA) port and the storage port are connected to the same
Note
switch.
Some HBA ports require a different area ID than for the storage ports when they are both connected to the
same switch. For example, if the storage port FC ID is 0x6f7704, the area for this port is 77. In this case, the
HBA port's area can be anything other than 77. The HBA port's FC ID must be manually configured to be
different from the storage port's FC ID.
Cisco SAN switches facilitate this requirement with the FC ID persistence feature. You can use this feature
to preassign an FC ID with a different area to either the storage port or the HBA port.

To avoid assigning a duplicate FC ID, use the show
fcdomain address-allocation vsan command to
display the FC IDs in use.
To secure the entire area for this fcdomain, assign 00
as the last two characters of the FC ID.
