Use the fcdomain domain <domain-id> [static | preferred] vsan <vsan-id> command to change the
Step 3
domain ID for one of the overlapping domain IDs.
The static option tells the switch to request that particular domain ID. If it does not obtain that
•
particular address, it will isolate itself from the fabric.
The preferred option has the switch request a specified domain ID. If that ID is unavailable, it will
•
accept another ID.
Use the fcdomain restart vsan command to restart Domain Manager.
Step 4
While the static option can be applied to runtime after a disruptive or nondisruptive restart, the preferred
option is applied to runtime only after a disruptive restart.
A domain ID restart is disruptive. The Fibre Channel nodes that are logged into that domain will be
Note
logged out and logged back in. A disruptive reconfiguration might affect data traffic.
To assign a dynamic domain ID after a fabric reconfiguration
You can use fabric reconfiguration to reassign domain IDs and resolve any overlapping domain IDs. If
you enable the auto-reconfigure option on both switches before connecting the fabric, a disruptive
reconfiguration (RCF) occurs. The RCF functionality automatically forces a new principal switch
selection and causes new domain IDs to be assigned to the different switches.
To use fabric reconfiguration to reassign domain IDs for a particular VSAN using the NX-OS CLI,
perform the following these steps:
Use the show fcdomain domain-list command to determine if you have statically assigned domain IDs
Step 1
on the switches.
Step 2
If you have statically assigned domain IDs, use the no fcdomain domain command to remove the static
assignments.
Step 3
Use the show fcdomain vsan <vsan-id> command to determine if you have the RCF reject option
enabled.
Example:
switch# show fcdomain vsan 3
