Updating Switches to the Core PID Addressing Example: switch:admin> switchdisable switch:admin> configure Configure... Fabric parameters (yes, y, no, n): [no] yes Domain: (1..239) [1] R_A_TOV: (4000..120000) [10000] E_D_TOV: (1000..5000) [2000] Data field size: (256..2112) [2112] Sequence Level Switching: (0..1) [0] Disable Device Probing: (0..1) [0] Suppress Class F Traffic: (0..1) [0] SYNC IO mode: (0..1) [0] VC Encoded Address Mode: (0..1) [0] 0 Core Switch PID Format: (0..1) [0] 1 Per-frame Route Priority: (0..1) [0] Long Distance Fabric: (0..1) [0] BB credit: (1..27) [16] 10. Once all switches are updated to use the new PID format and re-enabled, verify that the fabric has fully re-converged (each switch "sees" the other switches). 11. Enter cfgenable [active_zoning_config] on one of the switches in the fabric to update zoning to use the new PID form. This does not change the definition of zones in the fabric, but merely causes the lowest level tables in the zoning database to be updated with the new PID format setting. It is only necessary to do this once per fabric; the zoning update automatically propagates to all switches. At this point, all switches in the fabric are operating in the new addressing mode. Detailed Update Procedures for HP/UX and AIX These procedures are not intended to be comprehensive. They provide a starting point from which a SAN administrator could develop a site-specific procedure for a device that binds automatically by PID and cannot be rebooted due to uptime requirements.
