Configuring the Switch

Configure Switch Parameters

Use procedures in this section to set parameters on the switch for fabric operation
through the Configure Switch Parameters dialog box. These operating
parameters are stored in NV-RAM on the switch.
You can configure the following switch parameters as required by your fabric:
104
Preferred Domain ID
Use this field to set each switch in the fabric to a unique preferred domain ID.
Fibre Channel addresses in the switch include this preferred domain ID,
which creates a unique identification for the port in the fabric. The default
value is 1. Set a preferred value from 1 through 31.
The preferred domain ID must be unique for each switch in a fabric. If two
switches have the same preferred domain ID, the E_Ports segment, causing
the fabric to segment. For more information on domain ID, refer to the section
on domain ID assignment for multi-switch fabrics in the HP StorageWorks
SAN High Availability Planning Guide.
Insistent
This option is not supported unless the SANtegrity Binding feature is
installed. Click the check box to remove or add a check mark. The default
state is disabled (no check mark).
When a check mark displays, the domain ID configured in the Preferred
Domain ID field will become the active domain identification when the fabric
initializes. See the following notes:
— This option is required if Enterprise Fabric Mode (optional SANtegrity
Binding feature) is enabled. Refer to
(ID)" on page 176 for more information.
— If you enable Insistent Domain while the Edge Switch or Director is
online, the Preferred Domain ID will change to the current active domain
ID if the IDs are different.
Caution: If a switch with a duplicate domain ID exists in the fabric, both
switches' E_Ports will segment when they try to join.
