Chapter 8 F Commands fcid-allocation Send documentation comments to [email protected] fcid-allocation Use the fcid-allocation command to manually add a FCID to the default area company ID list. Use the no form of the command to remove a FCID from the default area company ID list. fcid-allocation area company-id company-id no fcid-allocation area company-id company-id Syntax Description area company-id company-id Modifies the auto area list of company IDs. Configures the company IDs. Defaults None. Command Modes Configuration mode. Command History Release 2.0 Modification This command was introduced. Usage Guidelines Fibre Channel standards require a unique FCID to be allocated to an N port attached to a Fx port in any switch. To conserve the number of FCIDs used, Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches use a special allocation scheme. Some HBAs do not discover targets that have FCIDs with the same domain and area. Prior to Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.0, the Cisco MDS SAN-OS software maintained a list of tested company ID (also know as Organizational Unit Identifier, or OUI) which do not exhibit this behavior. These Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) were allocated with single FCIDs, and for others a full area was allocated. The FCID allocation scheme available in Release 1.3 and earlier, allocates a full area to these HBAs. This allocation isolates them to that area and are listed with their pWWN during a fabric login. The allocated FCIDs are cached persistently and are still available in Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.0 (see the "FCID Allocation for HBAs" section on page 38-22). As of Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.0, to allow further scalability for switches with numerous ports, the Cisco MDS SAN-OS software is maintaining a list of HBAs exhibiting this behavior. Each HBA is identified by its company ID used in the pWWN during a fabric log in. Hence a full area is allocated to the N ports with company IDs that are listed and for the others, a single FCID is allocated. Irrespective of the kind (whole area or single) of FCID allocated, the FCID entries remain persistent. Examples The following example adds a new company ID to the default area company ID list. switch# config terminal switch(config)# fcid-allocation area company-id 0x003223 OL-16217-01, Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.x Cisco MDS 9000 Family Command Reference 8-29

Command History

Usage Guidelines

Fibre Channel standards require a unique FCID to be allocated to an N port attached to a Fx port in any

switch. To conserve the number of FCIDs used, Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches use a special

allocation scheme.

Some HBAs do not discover targets that have FCIDs with the same domain and area.

Prior to Cisco

MDS SAN-OS Release 2.0, the Cisco MDS SAN-OS software maintained a list of tested company ID

(also know as Organizational Unit Identifier, or OUI) which do not exhibit this behavior. These Host Bus

Adapters (HBAs) were allocated with single FCIDs, and for others a full area was allocated.

The FCID allocation scheme available in Release 1.3 and earlier, allocates a full area to these HBAs.

This allocation isolates them to that area and are listed with their pWWN during a fabric login. The

allocated FCIDs are cached persistently and are still available in Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.0 (see

the “FCID Allocation for HBAs” section on page 38-22).

As of Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.0, to allow further scalability for switches with numerous ports,

the Cisco MDS SAN-OS software is maintaining a list of HBAs exhibiting this behavior. Each HBA is

identified by its company ID used in the pWWN during a fabric log in. Hence a full area is allocated to

the N ports with company IDs that are listed and for the others, a single FCID is allocated. Irrespective

of the kind (whole area or single) of FCID allocated, the FCID entries remain persistent.
