Setting A Fabric Name; Setting The Switch Priority - HP 5920 series Configuration Manual

Setting a fabric name

The fabric name configured takes effect only on a statically-built fabric. You must configure the same
fabric name for all switches in a VSAN.
To set a fabric name:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter VSAN view.
3. Configure a fabric
name.

Setting the switch priority

The priority value for FCF switches is in the range of 1 to 254. The smaller the value, the higher the
priority. The FCF switch with the highest priority will be elected as the principal switch.
The priority is configured on a per-VSAN basis, and one FCF switch may have different priorities in
different VSANs.
In a stable fabric, the configured priority does not take effect immediately. Therefore, the running priority
of a switch might be different from the configured priority. To validate the configured priority, use the
domain restart disruptive command to perform a disruptive reconfiguration. After a disruptive
reconfiguration, the running priority could still be different from the configured priority. See the following
possibilities on the principal and a non-principal switch, depending on the configured priority value, as
shown in Table
Table 2 Configured priority and running priority mappings
