Enabling Flat FCID mode if no FC target devices on switch
1.
Alternatively, you can place the Cisco switch FCID allocation mode into FLAT mode by entering
the following commands:
config t
fcinterop fcid-allocation flat
2.
Enter the following command to enable VSAN mode:
vsan database
3.
Enter the following commands to enable the Flat FCID mode:
vsan <vsan#> suspend
no vsan <vsan#> suspend
4.
Press
Ctrl-Z
to exit.
5.
Enter the following command to save the MDS switch configuration:
copy run start
NOTE
If there are any device(s) in the VSAN that you suspend, it takes that device offline until you
unsuspend that VSAN.
Editing Company ID list if target devices on switch
If there are target devices on the switch, you must add the OUI of all the target devices present on
the switch to the Company ID list, and then delete the OUI IDs of all the HBAs that are connected
through the switch in Access Gateway mode from the Company ID list. You must remove the OUI IDs
if and only if they are in the Company ID list. Use the following commands to determine if the OUIs
in the Company ID list:
switch#_show fcid-allocation area
FCID area allocation company id info:
00:50:2E
<- Default entry
00:50:8B
00:60:B0
00:E0:79
00:0D:60 +
<- User -added entry
00:09:6B +
<- User -added entry
00:E0:8B *
<- Explicitly deleted entry (from the original default list)
Total company ids 6
+ - Additional user configured company ids
* -Explicitly deleted company ids from default list.
NOTE
You can also use the
Persistent FCID
field in the Cisco GUI tool to manually assign the FCIDs to
QLogic-based devices behind the Access Gateway module. If you use the method, ensure that
proper FCIDs are assigned, which have a different Area field from the target devices connected to
the same MDS switch. See
“Access Gateway routing requirements with Cisco fabrics”
on page 36 to
ensure that the switch meets the AG routing requirements.
