Assigning a New Domain ID Using Fabric Manager

All devices attached to the switch in the VSAN get a new FC ID when a new domain ID is assigned.
Some hosts or storage devices may not function as expected if the FC ID of the host or storage device
changes.
To verify FC domain ID overlap and reassign a new domain ID using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Choose Switches > Interfaces > FC Physical and check the FailureCause column for an isolation or
domain overlap status.
Choose Fabricxx > VSANxx > Domain Manager to view which domains are currently in the VSAN.
Step 2
Repeat
Step 3
Step 4 Select the Configuration tab and set Config Domain and Config Type to change the domain ID for one
of the overlapping domain IDs.

Set the Restart drop-down menu to disruptive and click Apply Changes to restart the Domain Manager.

Assigning a New Domain ID Using the CLI

All devices attached to the switch in the VSAN get a new FC ID when a new domain ID is assigned.
Some hosts or storage devices may not function as expected if the FC ID of the host or storage device
changes.
To verify FC domain ID overlap and reassign a new domain ID using the CLI, follow these steps:
Issue the show interface command. The following example output shows the isolation error message.
Step 1
switch# show interface fc2/14
fc2/14 is down (Isolation due to domain overlap)
OL-9285-05
Step 2 on the other switch to determine which domain IDs overlap.
The static option tells the switch to request that particular domain ID. If it does not get that particular
address, it will isolate itself from the fabric.
The preferred option has the switch request a specified domain ID. If that ID is unavailable, it will
accept another ID.
While the static option can be applied to runtime after a disruptive or nondisruptive restart, the
preferred option is applied to runtime only after a disruptive restart.
