Step 4: Verify and configure switch domain IDs
Assign a domain ID in the range of 97–127 (0x61–0x7F). There is a maximum of 31 switches allowed
in the fabric while in interoperability mode. In the MDS the default is to request an ID from the principal
switch. If the preferred keyword is used, the MDS requests a specific ID, but still join the fabric if the
principal switch assigns a different ID. If the static keyword is used, the MDS will not join the fabric
unless the principal switch agrees, and assigns the requested ID.
To configure the switch domain ID:
MDS9509# config t
MDS9509(config)# fcdomain domain 100 preferred vsan 1
When making changes to the domain, you can restart the MDS domain manager function for the
altered VSAN. You can use the disruptive keyword to force a fabric reconfiguration:
MDS9509(config)# fcdomain restart disruptive vsan 1
However, forcing a fabric reconfiguration is a requirement when restarting:
MDS9509(config)# fcdomain restart vsan 1
Step 5: Verify zoning configuration
To ensure proper zoning merge and operation, verify there are no duplicate active zone sets or zones
across the two fabrics that need to be merged. If any duplicate zones exist, you must rename them.
You can verify zoning information with the show zone command.
For example, to verify all active zones:
MDS9509# show zoneset active
zoneset name mdscore vsan 1
zone name vz1 vsan 1
* fcid 0x630500 [pwwn 50:06:01:60:88:02:90:cb]
* fcid 0x610400 [pwwn 10:00:00:00:c9:24:3d:90]
zone name vz2 vsan 1
* fcid 0x630400 [pwwn 10:00:00:00:c9:24:3f:75]
* fcid 0x6514e2 [pwwn 21:00:00:20:37:a7:ca:b7]
* fcid 0x6514e4 [pwwn 21:00:00:20:37:a7:c7:e0]
* fcid 0x6514e8 [pwwn 21:00:00:20:37:a7:c7:df]
zone name vz3 vsan 1
* fcid 0x651500 [pwwn 10:00:00:e0:69:f0:43:9f]
* fcid 0x6105dc [pwwn 21:00:00:20:37:28:31:6d]
* fcid 0x6105e0 [pwwn 21:00:00:20:37:28:24:7b]
* fcid 0x6105e1 [pwwn 21:00:00:20:37:28:22:ea]
* fcid 0x6105e2 [pwwn 21:00:00:20:37:28:2e:65]
* fcid 0x6105e4 [pwwn 21:00:00:20:37:28:26:0d]
zone name $default_zone$ vsan 1
Verify zone naming
Ensure that zone names adhere to the following guidelines.
•
All characters must be ASCII.
•
A name must be between 1 and 64 characters in length.
•
The first character of a name must be a letter, either an upper case (A–Z) or lower case (a–z)
