Configuring Unique Area Fc Ids For An Hba - Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring Domain Parameters
Cisco Nexus 5000 Series 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.

Configuring Unique Area FC IDs for an HBA

The following task uses an example configuration with a switch domain of 111(6f hex). The server connects
to the switch over FCoE. The HBA port connects to interface vfc20/1 and the storage port connects to interface
fc2/3 on the same switch.
To configure a different area ID for the HBA port, perform this task:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. Obtain the port WWN (Port Name field) ID of the HBA using the show flogi database command.
2. Shut down the HBA interface in the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch.
3. Verify that the FC ID feature is enabled using the show fcdomain vsan command.
4. Enable the persistent FC ID feature in the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch.
5. Assign a new FC ID with a different area allocation. In this example, replace 77 with ee.
6. Enable the HBA interface in the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch.
7. Verify the pWWN ID of the HBA by using the show flogi database command.
DETAILED STEPS
Step 1 Obtain the port WWN (Port Name field) ID of the HBA using the show flogi database command.
switch# show flogi database
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INTERFACE VSAN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
vfc10/1 3
fc2/3 3
Note Both FC IDs in this setup have the same area 77
assignment.
Step 2 Shut down the HBA interface in the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch.
switch# configuration terminal
switch(config)# interface vfc20/1
switch(config-if)# shutdown
switch(config-if)# end
Step 3 Verify that the FC ID feature is enabled using the show fcdomain vsan command.
switch# show fcdomain vsan 1

Local switch configuration information:
State: Enabled
FCID persistence: Disabled
If this feature is disabled, continue to the next step to enable the persistent FC ID.
If this feature is already enabled, skip to the following step.
