Connecting the SAN I/O Module to the fabric 3 If you are in AG mode and want to change to Native Fabric mode before connecting the SAN I/O Module to the fabric, refer to "Changing from Access Gateway mode to Native Fabric mode" on page 31. 1. If the Brocade M6505 16 Gbps Fibre Channel SAN I/O Module is in Native Fabric mode, continue to step 2 and step 3. If the Module is in Access Gateway mode, go on to step 4. 2. Log in to the SAN I/O Module through a Telnet connection using the admin account. 3. Modify the domain ID if required using Brocade M6505 16 Gbps Fibre Channel SAN I/O Module CLI commands. The default domain ID is 1. If the SAN I/O Module is not powered on until after it is connected to the fabric and the default domain ID is already in use, the domain ID for the new SAN I/O Module is automatically reset to a unique value. If the SAN I/O Module is connected to the fabric after it has been powered on and the default domain ID is already in use, the fabric segments. To find the domain IDs that are currently in use, run the fabricShow command on another SAN I/O Module or switch in the fabric. Identify an unused domain ID: a. Disable the SAN I/O Module being configured using the switchDisable command. b. Enter the configure command at the root prompt. The command prompts display sequentially. Enter a new value at the Domain prompt or press Enter to accept the default value. The SAN I/O Module now has a unique domain ID and can join the fabric. The following sample is an example of command output.
