If you perform a disruptive restart, reconfigure fabric (RCF) frames are sent to other switches in the fabric and data traffic is disrupted on all the switches in the VSAN (including remotely segmented ISLs). If you perform a nondisruptive restart, build fabric (BF) frames are sent to other switches in the fabric and data traffic is disrupted only on the switch. If you are attempting to resolve a domain ID conflict, you must manually assign domain IDs. A disruptive restart is required to apply most configuration changes-including manually assigned domain IDs. Nondisruptive domain restarts are acceptable only when changing a preferred domain ID into a static one (and the actual domain ID remains the same). Note A static domain is specifically configured by the user and may be different from the runtime domain. If the domain IDs are different, the runtime domain ID changes to take on the static domain ID after the next restart, either disruptive or nondisruptive. Tip If a VSAN is in interop mode, you cannot restart the fcdomain for that VSAN disruptively. You can apply most of the configurations to their corresponding runtime values. Each of the following sections provide further details on how the fcdomain parameters are applied to the runtime values.

About Domain Restart

Fibre Channel domains can be started disruptively or nondisruptively. If you perform a disruptive restart,

reconfigure fabric (RCF) frames are sent to other switches in the fabric and data traffic is disrupted on

all the switches in the VSAN (including remotely segmented ISLs). If you perform a nondisruptive

restart, build fabric (BF) frames are sent to other switches in the fabric and data traffic is disrupted only

on the switch.

If you are attempting to resolve a domain ID conflict, you must manually assign domain IDs. A

disruptive restart is required to apply most configuration changes–including manually assigned domain

IDs. Nondisruptive domain restarts are acceptable only when changing a preferred domain ID into a

static one (and the actual domain ID remains the same).

Note

A static domain is specifically configured by the user and may be different from the runtime domain. If

the domain IDs are different, the runtime domain ID changes to take on the static domain ID after the

next restart, either disruptive or nondisruptive.

Tip

If a VSAN is in interop mode, you cannot restart the fcdomain for that VSAN disruptively.

You can apply most of the configurations to their corresponding runtime values. Each of the following

sections provide further details on how the fcdomain parameters are applied to the runtime values.
