About Unique Area FC IDs for HBAs

Note Only read this section if the Host Bus Adapter (HBA) port and the storage port are connected to the same
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.
