Updating Switches to the Core PID Addressing Procedures for Updating the Core PID Format The following sections present basic procedures for update the Core PID format and detailed procedures for HP/UX and AIX. Basic Update Procedures This process should be executed as part of the overall online or offline update process. However, it may be implemented in a stand-alone manner on a non-production fabric on a switch that has not yet joined a fabric. 1. Ensure that all switches in the fabric are running Fabric OS versions that support the new addressing mode. The recommended firmware versions are: 2.6.0c or later for StorageWorks 1 Gb SAN switches, 3.0.2g or later for SAN Switch 2/8 EL and SAN Switch 2/16 switches, and 4.0.2x or later for SAN Switch 2/32 and Core Switch 2/64 switches. Note: All switches running any version of Fabric OS 4.x are shipped with the Core Switch PID Format enabled, so it is not necessary to perform the PID format change on these switches. 2. Telnet into one of the switches in the fabric. 3. Disable the switch by entering the switchdisable command. 4. Enter the configure command (the configure prompts display sequentially). 5. Enter "y" after the "Fabric parameters" prompt. 6. Enter "1" at the "Core Switch PID Format" prompt. 7. Complete the remaining prompts or press Ctrl+D to accept the remaining settings without completing all the prompts. 8. Repeat steps 2 through 7 for the remaining switches in the fabric. 9. Re-enable the switch by entering the switchenable command. 154 Fabric OS Procedures Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide
