Switch Interoperability Chapter 37 Advanced Features and Concepts Send documentation comments to [email protected] Note The Cisco MDS 9000, Brocade, and McData FC error detect (ED_TOV) and resource allocation (RA_TOV) timers default to the same values. They can be changed if needed. The RA_TOV default is 10 seconds, and the ED_TOV default is 2 seconds. Per the FC-SW2 standard, these values must be the same on each switch within the fabric. Step 7 a. Expand Switches > FC Services and then select Timers and Policies. You see the timer settings in the Information pane. b. Click Change Timeouts to modify the time-out values. c. Click Apply to save the new time-out values. Optionally, choose VSANxxx > Domain Manager> Configuration tab and select disruptive or nonDisruptive in the Restart column to restart the domain. Verifying Interoperating Status This section highlights the steps used to verify if the fabric is up and running in interoperability mode. To verify the interoperability status of any switch in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family using Fabric Manager, follow these steps: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Choose Switches in the Physical Attributes pane and check the release number in the Information pane to verify the Cisco SAN-OS release. Expand Switches > Interfaces and then select FC Physical to verify the interface modes for each switch. Expand Fabricxx in the Logical Domains pane and then select All VSANs to verify the interop mode for all VSANs. Expand Fabricxx > All VSANs and then select Domain Manager to verify the domain IDs, local, and principal sWWNs for all VSANs (see Figure 37-6). Figure 37-6 Domain Manager Information Step 5 Using Device Manager, choose FC > Name Server to verify the name server information. You see the Name Server dialog box as shown in Figure 37-7. 37-12 Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide OL-16184-01, Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.x
