Domain Rscns; Insistent Domain Identification (Id) - HP 316095-B21 - StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/24 User Manual

If Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled, this option is automatically enabled and cannot
be disabled unless the switch is offline. In this case, disabling Rerouting Delay also
disables Enterprise Fabric Mode.

Domain RSCNs

This is a parameter in the Configure Switch Parameters dialog box, available from
Configure menu in the Product Manager application. Domain register for state change
notifications (domain RSCNs) are sent between end devices in a fabric to provide
additional connection information to host bus adapters (HBA) and storage devices. As
an example, this information might be that a logical path has been broken because of a
physical event, such as a fiber optic cable being disconnected from a port.
If Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled, this parameter is automatically enabled and
cannot be disabled unless the switch is offline. In this case, disabling Domain RSCNs
also disables Enterprise Fabric Mode.

Insistent Domain Identification (ID)

This is a parameter in the Configure Switch Parameters dialog box, available from
Configure menu in the Product Manager application. Enabling this option sets the
domain ID configured in the Preferred Domain ID field in the Configure Switch
Parameters dialog box as the active domain identification when the fabric initializes.
A static and unique domain identification is required by the Fabric Binding feature
because the feature's Fabric Membership list identifies switches by WWN and
Domain ID. If a duplicate preferred domain ID is used, then insisted, warnings occur
when Directors and Edge Switches are added to a Fabric Membership List.
If Fabric Binding or Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled, this option is automatically
enabled and cannot be disabled unless these options are disabled when the switch is
offline. If the switch is online, disabling Insistent Domain ID will disable Enterprise
Fabric Mode and Fabric Binding.
