Page 71: Core Switch Pid Format Summary
Core Switch PID Format enabled, so it is not necessary to change the Core Switch PID format on these switches. For example, the HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/32 and HP StorageWorks Core Switch 2/64 always use Core Switch PID format 1. This parameter is always 1 and cannot be changed.
Page 72 Installing and Configuring the Core Switch 2/64 If the Core PID format is set to 0 in switches already running in the SAN, you Note: must follow the procedures in Appendix B, “Updating the Core Switch PID Format” to change the parameter to 1. If the Core Switch PID format is not changed to 1 to match the SAN Switch 2/32’s value, then the switches residing in the SAN will fail to communicate with one another.
Page 73: Configuration Overview
Fabric OS that are earlier than 4.1, those switches must have the Core PID set to “1” in order to join a fabric with switches running Fabric OS v4.0 or later. For HP StorageWorks Fabric OS information on setting the Core PID, refer to the Procedures Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide...

Page 184: Extensive Information On The Pid Format
Technical Specifications Extensive Information on the PID Format This section provides best practices for updating an existing production SAN to the new PID format. In addition to the core PID format update process, there are a number of very common scenarios in which a device may be assigned a new PID. Therefore the procedures included in this section are applicable to other areas of SAN administration, and should be generally useful to any SAN administrator.
Page 185 Technical Specifications In new installations, the PID format should always be set to the new addressing method before the fabric enters production. When updating an existing SAN, there are several scenarios which must be evaluated before changing the PID format. Proactively setting the core PID format on all new fabrics before they enter production will prevent the need to update those fabrics in the future.
Page 186: Recommended Approaches
Technical Specifications devices. These procedures are applicable to any of a broad class of routine maintenance tasks; indeed, they would apply to these devices in many scenarios with any Fibre Channel switch in any addressing mode. While this section is not comprehensive, it should give a SAN administrator the information needed to plan and execute a successful core PID format update, and also provide useful information for other SAN management tasks.

PID, as binding by PID creates management difficulty in a number of scenarios. The drivers shipping by default with HP/UX and AIX at the time of this writing still bind by PID, and so detailed procedures are provided for these operating systems in the final section of this overview.
Page 189: Update Plan Creation
Technical Specifications If you use one of the first two options, the procedures should again be validated in the test environment. Some multipathing software installations handle fabric failover gracefully and quickly. There are quite a few variables which affect this, including but not limited to: HBA time-out values Multipathing software time-out values...

Technical Specifications 8. Once the fabric has reconverged, use the cfgenable command to update zoning. For any devices manually bound by PID, update their bindings. This may involve changing them to the new PIDs, or may (preferably) involve changing to WWN binding. For any devices automatically bound by PID, two options exist: —...
Page 191: Bringing Devices Online
Technical Specifications Bringing Devices Online Bring the devices online in the order appropriate to the SAN. This usually involves starting up the storage arrays first, and the hosts last. For any devices manually bound by PID, bring the device back online, but do not start applications.
Page 192: Offline Update
Technical Specifications idea to avoid running backups during the update process, as tape drives tend to be very sensitive to I/O interruption. Backup all data with verification, then update one fabric at a time, verifying I/O at each step in the process. Offline Update It is possible to execute an offline update with less advance planning.

AL_PA Arbitrated Loop Physical Address; a unique 8-bit value assigned during loop initialization to a port in an arbitrated loop. Alias Address Identifier An address identifier recognized by a port in addition to its standard identifier.
Page 226 Glossary Bandwidth The total transmission capacity of a cable, link, or system. Usually measured in bps (bits per second). May also refer to the range of transmission frequencies available to a network. See also Throughput. BB_Credit Buffer-to-buffer credit; the number of frames that can be transmitted to a directly connected recipient or within an arbitrated loop.
Page 227 Glossary Community (SNMP) A relationship between a group of SNMP managers and an SNMP agent, in which authentication, access control, and proxy characteristics are defined. See also SNMP. Connection Initiator A port that has originated a Class 1 dedicated connection and received a response from the recipient.
Page 228 Glossary EIA Rack A storage rack that meets the standards set by the Electronics Industry Association. Enabled Zone Configuration The currently enabled configuration of zones. Only one configuration can be enabled at a time. End-to-end Flow Control Governs flow of class 1 and 2 frames between N_Ports. See also EE_Credit. Error As applies to Fibre Channel, a missing or corrupted frame, time-out, loss of synchronization, or loss of signal (link errors).
Page 229 Glossary FL_Port Fabric Loop Port; a port that is able to transmit under fabric protocol and also has arbitrated loop capabilities. Can be used to connect an NL_Port to a switch. FLOGI Fabric Login; the process by which an N_Port determines whether a fabric is present, and if so, exchanges service parameters with it.
Page 230 Glossary GBps GigaBytes per second (1,062,500,000 bytes/second). Host Bus Adapter; the interface card between a server or workstation bus and the Fibre Channel network. A Fibre Channel wiring concentrator that collapses a loop topology into a physical star topology. Nodes are automatically added to the loop when active and removed when inactive.
Page 231 Glossary Loop Initialization Primitive; the signal used to begin initialization in a loop. Indicates either loop failure or resetting of a node. Looplet A set of devices connected in a loop to a port that is a member of another loop. Management Information Base;...
Page 232 Glossary Phantom Address An AL_PA value that is assigned to an device that is not physically in the loop. Also known as phantom AL_PA.

An internet management protocol that uses either IP for network-level functions and UDP for transport-level functions, or TCP/IP for both. Can be made available over other protocols, such as UDP/IP, because it does not rely on the underlying communication protocols.
Page 235 Glossary Transmission Character A 10-bit character encoded according to the rules of the 8B/10B algorithm. Transmission Word A group of four transmission characters. Trap (SNMP) The message sent by an SNMP agent to inform the SNMP management station of a critical error.
Page 236 Glossary Zone Configuration A specified set of zones. Enabling a configuration enables all zones in that configuration. Zone A set of devices and hosts attached to the same fabric and configured as being in the same zone. Devices and hosts within the same zone have access permission to others in the zone, but are not visible to any outside the zone.
