Updating the Core Switch PID Format Command Summary ■ syslogdipadd-Add the IP address of the remote syslogd host to the switch. ■ syslogdipremove-Remove the IP address of the remote syslogd daemon. ■ syslogdipshow-Show the list of configured syslogd IP addresses. ■ errshow-Display messages from the error log on the switch. Updating the Core Switch PID Format Updating the Core Switch PID Format is necessary when upgrading an existing SAN to support larger port-count switches. When a switch with more than sixteen ports is introduced into an existing fabric, this parameter needs to be set on all switches in the fabric. Note: HP always recommends redundant fabrics and multi-pathing software for uptime-sensitive environments. If a redundant SAN architecture is in place, the Core PID update can take place without application downtime. To ensure maximum ease of administration, this parameter can and should be proactively set on a fabric before it ever enters production, whether or not an upgrade to larger switches is planned. Updating Procedure This process should be executed as part of either the online or offline update processes when updating an existing fabric. However, it may be implemented in a stand-alone manner on a non-production fabric, or a switch that has not yet joined a fabric. Before executing this procedure, ensure that all switches in the fabric are running Fabric OS versions that support the new addressing mode. HP recommends the following: ■ Version 2.6.0c or higher for 1 Gbps Switches ■ Version 3.0.2c or higher for 2 Gbps SAN Switches ■ Version 4.0.2b or higher for 2 Gbps Core Switches 48 SAN switch 2/32 Version 4.0.2b Release Notes
