priority of 1 and controls the allocation and distribution of domain
IDs for all fabric elements (including itself).
Principal is the highest priority setting, Default is the next
highest, and Never Principal is the lowest priority setting. The
setting Never Principal means the fabric element is incapable of
becoming a principal switch. If all elements are set to Principal or

WWN becomes the principal switch. At least one element in a
multiswitch fabric must be set as Principal or Default. If all
