Configure Switch Operating Parameters - HP 316095-B21 - StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/24 User Manual

Configure Switch Operating Parameters

Use procedures in this section to set parameters on the switch for fabric operation
through the Configure Switch Parameters dialog box. These operating parameters
are stored in NV-RAM on the switch.
You can configure the following switch parameters as required by your fabric:
• Preferred Domain ID
Use this field to set each switch in the fabric to a unique preferred domain ID.
Fibre Channel addresses in the switch include this preferred domain ID, which
creates a unique identification for the port in the fabric. The default value is 1. Set
a preferred value from 1 through 31.
The preferred domain ID must be unique for each switch in a fabric. If two
switches have the same preferred domain ID, the E_Ports segment, causing the
fabric to segment. For more information on domain ID, refer to the section on
domain ID assignment for multi-switch fabrics in the hp StorageWorks SAN high
availability planning guide.
• Insistent
This option is not supported unless the SANtegrity feature is installed. Click the
check box to remove or add a check mark. The default state is disabled (no check
mark).
When a check mark displays, the domain ID configured in the Preferred Domain
ID field will become the active domain identification when the fabric initializes.
See the following notes:
— This option is required if Enterprise Fabric Mode (optional SANtegrity
feature) is enabled. See
more information.
— If you enable Insistent Domain while the Edge Switch or Director is online,
the Preferred Domain ID will change to the current active domain ID if the
IDs are different.
CAUTION: If a switch with a duplicate domain ID exists in the fabric, both switches'
E_Ports will segment when they try to join.
