Enterprise Fabric Mode
6-11
Optional Features
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 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 features 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 switch is offline. If the switch is online,
disabling Insistent Domain ID will disable Enterprise Fabric Mode
and Fabric Binding.
