DESCRIPTION
Use this command to display a translate (xlate) domain ID or change the preferred domain ID and its
state of persistence.
A translate domain is a phantom domain created by an FC Router. FC Routers emulate proxy devices
representing real devices in remote fabrics. These proxy devices are emulated to be connected to
translate domains. Translate domains are presented to a fabric as residing topologically behind front
phantom domains (domains created by an EX_Port). In the case of backbone fabrics, translate domains
are topologically behind an E_Port. In every EX_Port-attached edge fabric and backbone fabric, there
can be a translate domain for every FC Router-accessible remote fabric.
During a fabric build, the translate domain requests a domain ID from the principal switch in the
EX_Port-attached edge fabric. The domain ID requested is the preferred domain ID. You can set the
preferred domain ID when the translate domain is not active and is persistently saved. The principal
switch attempts to provide the translate domain with the requested domain ID, but it may not provide it if
there are domain ID conflicts with other domains in the fabric. If the requested domain ID (such as the
preferred domain ID) is unavailable, the domain ID assignment is completely at the discretion of the
principal switch. The assignment domain ID is persistently stored and is used as the preferred domain ID
in the future.
By default, FCR creates the translate domain for a remote fabric if a valid persistent translate domain ID
is configured in the local fabric, even if no devices are imported or exported across the edge fabrics.
Disabling the persistxd parameter prevents the xlate domain from being created. Enabling the
persistxd parameter from a disabled state re-enables the FCR default behavior.
If the remote edge fabric becomes unreachable, the translate domains created in other edge fabrics for
this remote edge fabric become stale. Use the --show stalexd option to identify translate domains that
have become stale, and delete them in a nondisruptive manner with the --delete stalexd option.
When executed without operands, fcrxlateconfig displays for each translate domain the imported FID,
the exported FID, the domain ID and the xlate WWN.
