Modifying The Fc Domain Id (Optional); Disabling And Enabling A Switch - HP 16Gb SAN User Manual

NOTE: For more information about the CLI, see the latest version of the Fabric OS Command
Reference Guide.

Modifying the FC domain ID (optional)

You can modify the FC domain ID. The default FC domain ID is domain 1. If the 16Gb SAN
Switch is not powered on until after it is connected to the fabric, and the default FC domain ID is
already in use, the domain ID for the new switch is automatically reset to a unique value. If the
switch is connected to the fabric after is has been powered on and the default domain ID is already
in use, the fabric segments.
Enter fabricshow to determine the domain IDs that are currently in use. The maximum number
of domains with which the 16Gb SAN Switch communicates is determined by this switch's fabric
license.
To modify the domain ID:
1. Enter switchdisable to disable the switch.
2. Enter configure, and then enter a new value or press Enter to accept each default value.
3. At the Fabric parameters prompt, enter Y and press Enter:
Fabric parameters (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
4. Enter a unique domain ID. For example:
Domain: (1..239) [1] 3
5. Complete the remaining prompts, or press Ctrl+D to accept the remaining default settings.
6. Enter switchenable to re-enable the switch.
7. Enter fabricshow to confirm any changes made to the domain ID.
8. Optionally, verify switch policy settings, and specify any custom status policies that need to
change:
a. Enter switchstatuspolicyshow to verify the current policy settings. If desired, enter
switchstatuspolicyset at the prompt to change switch policy settings. This command
sets the policy parameters that determine the overall switch status.
b. Customize the status policies as desired.
9. To deactivate the alarm for a particular condition, enter 0 at the prompt for that condition.
