Due to differences in Arbitrated Loop Physical Address (ALPA) support on devices, FC ID persistency
Note
for loop-attached devices is not guaranteed.

Enabling Persistent FC IDs

To enable the persistent FC ID feature, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
Step 2
switch(config)# fcdomain fcid persistent vsan 1000
FCID(s) persistent feature is enabled.
switch(config)# no fcdomain fcid persistent vsan 20
Persistent FC IDs Manual Configuration
When the persistent FC ID feature is enabled, you can enter the persistent FC ID submode and add static
or dynamic entries in the FC ID database. By default, all added entries are static. Persistent FC IDs are
configured on a per-VSAN basis. Follow these requirements to manually configure a persistent FC ID:
•
•
•
•
Note FICON uses a different scheme for allocating FC IDs based in the front panel port number. This scheme
takes precedence over FC ID persistence in FICON VSANs.

Ensure that the persistent FC ID feature is enabled in the required VSAN.
Ensure that the required VSAN is an active VSAN—persistent FC IDs can only be configured on
active VSANs.
Verify that the domain part of the FC ID is the same as the runtime domain ID in the required VSAN.
If the software detects a domain mismatch, the command is rejected.
Verify that the port field of the FC ID is 0 (zero) when configuring an area.

Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Activates (default) persistency of FC
IDs in VSAN 1000.
