Verifying The Persistent Pid Feature; Determining Installed Software Licenses - IBM SAN384B-2 Installation, Service And User Manual

Verifying the persistent PID feature

Before connecting the SAN384B-2 to the fabric, verify that the WWN Based
persistent port identifier (PID) feature on the SAN384B-2 matches the other
switches in the fabric. This parameter must be identical for all switches in the
fabric and is set using the configure command as shown below:
switch:admin>configure
Configure...
Fabric parameters (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
Domain: (1..239) [1]
Enable a 256 Area Limit
WWN Based persistent PID (yes, y, no, n): [no] yes
<command output truncated>
You can check the PID setting using the configshow command as in the following
example. You can use the | grep -i pid qualifier to pinpoint the PID information.
switch:admin> configshow | grep -i pid
fabric.ops.mode.pidFormat:1
fabric.wwnPidMode:1
The 1 indicates that the WWN Based persistent PID feature is enabled. The default
value is 0 for disabled.

Determining installed software licenses

Certain licenses may be factory installed on the SAN384B-2. To determine which
licenses are currently enabled, use the licenseShow command.
swDir:admin> licenseshow
AAbbccDDeeFFeeGG:
In the example above, the license key is AAbbccDDeeFFeeGG. Keep a copy of the
license key for reference.
will be stored as backup servers that can take over if the active NTP server
fails. The principal or primary FCS switch synchronizes its time with the NTP
server every 64 seconds.
switch:admin> tsclockserver
LOCL
switch:admin> tsclockserver "132.163.135.131"
switch:admin> tsclockserver
132.163.135.131
switch:admin>
The following example shows how to set up more than one NTP server using a
DNS name:
switch:admin> tsclockserver "10.32.170.1;10.32.170.2;ntp.localdomain.net"
Updating Clock Server configuration...done.
Updated with the NTP servers
Changes to the clock server value on the principal or primary FCS switch are
propagated to all switches in the fabric
(0 = No,
1 = Zero Based Area Assignment,
2 = Port Based Area Assignment): (0..2) [0] 1
