Optional Features shorter path may arrive ahead of older frames still in route over the older path. If Rerouting Delay is enabled, traffic ceases in the fabric for the time specified in the E_D_TOV field of the Configure Fabric Parameters dialog box (Configure menu). This delay enables frames sent on the old path to exit to their destination before new frames begin traversing the new path. If Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled, this option is automatically enabled and cannot be disabled unless the director or switch is offline. In this case, disabling Rerouting Delay also disables Enterprise Fabric Mode. Domain RSCNs This is a parameter in the Configure Switch Parameters dialog box, available from Configure menu in the Product Manager application. Domain register for state change notifications (domain RSCNs) are sent between end devices in a fabric to provide additional connection information to host bus adapters and storage devices. As an example, this information might be that a logical path has been broken because of a physical event, such as a fiber optic cable being disconnected from a port. If Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled, this parameter is automatically enabled and cannot be disabled unless the director or switch is offline. In this case, disabling Domain RSCNs also disables Enterprise Fabric Mode. Insistent Domain Identification (ID) This is a parameter in the Configure Switch Parameters dialog box, available from Configure menu in the Product Manager application. Enabling this option sets the domain ID configured in the Preferred Domain ID field in the Configure Switch Parameters dialog box as the active domain identification when the fabric initializes. A static and unique domain identification is required by the Fabric Binding feature because the feature's Fabric Membership list identifies switches by WWN and Domain ID. If a duplicate preferred domain ID is used, then insisted, warnings occur when directors and switches are added to a Fabric Membership List. If Fabric Binding or Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled, this option is automatically enabled and cannot be disabled unless these options are disabled when the director or switch is offline. If the director or switch is online, disabling Insistent Domain ID will disable Enterprise Fabric Mode and Fabric Binding. director product manager user guide 6-13

Optional Features

shorter path may arrive ahead of older frames still in route over the older path. If

Rerouting Delay is enabled, traffic ceases in the fabric for the time specified in the

E_D_TOV field of the

Configure Fabric Parameters

dialog box (

Configure

menu).

This delay enables frames sent on the old path to exit to their destination before new

frames begin traversing the new path.

If Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled, this option is automatically enabled and cannot

be disabled unless the director or switch is offline. In this case, disabling Rerouting

Delay also disables Enterprise Fabric Mode.

Domain RSCNs

This is a parameter in the

Configure Switch Parameters

dialog box, available from

Configure

menu in the

Product Manager

application. Domain register for state

change notifications (domain RSCNs) are sent between end devices in a fabric to

provide additional connection information to host bus adapters and storage devices.

As an example, this information might be that a logical path has been broken because

of a physical event, such as a fiber optic cable being disconnected from a port.

If Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled, this parameter is automatically enabled and

cannot be disabled unless the director or switch is offline. In this case, disabling

Domain RSCNs also disables Enterprise Fabric Mode.

Insistent Domain Identification (ID)

This is a parameter in the

Configure Switch Parameters

dialog box, available from

Configure

menu in the

Product Manager

application. Enabling this option sets the

domain ID configured in the

Preferred Domain ID

field in the

Configure Switch

Parameters

dialog box as the active domain identification when the fabric initializes.

A static and unique domain identification is required by the Fabric Binding feature

because the feature's Fabric Membership list identifies switches by WWN and

Domain ID. If a duplicate preferred domain ID is used, then insisted, warnings occur

when directors and switches are added to a Fabric Membership List.

If Fabric Binding or Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled, this option is automatically

enabled and cannot be disabled unless these options are disabled when the director or

switch is offline. If the director or switch is online, disabling Insistent Domain ID will

disable Enterprise Fabric Mode and Fabric Binding.
