Fabric-Name - HP 5920 Series Command Reference Manual

static: Specifies the domain ID as static.
Usage guidelines
The upper-layer protocol identifies only the WWN, but FC switches use domain IDs to route and forward
packets. Domain IDs are assigned on a per-VSAN basis and have a default value of 0, which cannot
distinguish switches. Therefore, you must statically configure or dynamically assign domain IDs for FC
switches.
In the static domain ID assignment method, the ID type configuration does not affect the assignment
result.
In the dynamic domain ID assignment method, the principal switch assigns a domain ID to each switch
in the fabric. If a member switch fails to get a preferred domain ID from the principal switch, it accepts
any other domain ID assigned by the principal switch. If the member switch fails to get a static domain
ID, it does not accept any other domain ID and isolates the upstream principal link.
HP recommends that you configure domain IDs of the same type for all switches in a VSAN.
Examples
# Configure static domain ID 55 in VSAN 1.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] vsan 1
[Sysname-vsan1] domain-id 55 static
Non-disruptive reconfiguration or isolating the switch may be performed. Continue? [Y/N]:

fabric-name

Use fabric-name to configure a fabric name in a VSAN.
Use undo fabric-name to restore the default.
Syntax
fabric-name name
undo fabric-name
Default
The fabric name is the WWN of the switch.
Views

Parameters
name: Specifies a fabric name, in the format of xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, where x is a hexadecimal
number.
Usage guidelines
An FC switch supports assigning a fabric name to each VSAN, in the same format as the WWN (a 64-bit
address).
