fcrXlateConfig 2 fcrXlateConfig Configures a translate (xlate) domain's domain ID and state of persistence for both the EX_Port-attached fabric and the backbone fabric. Synopsis fcrxlateconfig fcrxlateconfig importedFID exportedFID preferredDomainID fcrxlateconfig --remove | -r importedFID exportedFID fcrxlateconfig --enable persistxd fcrxlateconfig --disable persistxd fcrxlateconfig --help 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. Fabric OS v6.2.0 and later provides the option of not creating the translate domain, even if a valid persistent translate domain ID is configured if no devices are imported or exported across the edge fabrics. Disabling the persistxd parameter prevents the translate domain from being created. Enabling the persistxd parameter from a disabled state re-enables the FCR default behavior. When executed without operands, fcrxlateconfig displays for each translate domain the imported FID, the exported FID, the domain ID and the xlate WWN. Notes The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for details. Information displayed is not related to the entire backbone. The FC Router displays only connections to an edge fabric for which there are translate domain IDs. Any changes you intend to make using this command should be issued on the switches to which the edge fabrics are directly attached. In a Virtual Fabric environment, this is the base switch.
