The SCR table is not configurable. It is populated when hosts send SCR frames with RSCN information.
Note
If hosts do not receive RSCN information, then the show rscn scr-table command will not return entries.

About the multi-pid Option

If the RSCN multi-pid option is enabled, then RSCNs generated to the registered Nx ports may contain
more than one affected port IDs. In this case, zoning rules are applied before putting the multiple affected
port IDs together in a single RSCN. By enabling this option, you can reduce the number of RSCNs. For
example: Suppose you have two disks (D1, D2) and a host (H) connected to switch 1. Host H is registered
to receive RSCNs. D1, D2 and H belong to the same zone. If disks D1 and D2 are online at the same
time, then one of the following applies:
Note
Some Nx ports may not understand multi-pid RSCN payloads. If so, disable the multi-pid RSCN option.
To configure the multi-pid option, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# rscn multi-pid vsan 105
Cisco MDS 9000 Family Configuration Guide
22-8
The multi-pid option is disabled on switch 1: two RSCNs are generated to host H—one for the disk
D1 and another for disk D2.
The multi-pid format is enabled on switch 1: a single RSCN is generated to host H, and the RSCN
payload lists the affected port IDs (in this case, both D1 and D2).
