SNC 5100
An example configuration that requires the Node Name on each Fibre Channel
port to be different is where the host has two Host Bus Adapters (HBAs)
installed for redundancy. In this configuration, each HBA is connected to a
different Fibre Channel port on the SNC 5100. Fail-over software on the host
defines one of the HBAs as the primary connection and the other HBA as a
spare. If the primary HBA should fail, the fail-over software routes data
transfers to the SNC 5100 through the spare HBA.
If you change the mode, you must reboot the SNC 5100 for new setting to take
effect.
See also the sysNodeNameModeShow command.
Example:
SN60023 > sysNodeNameModeSet 1
Please REBOOT the box to activate your new mode
value = 0 = 0x0
SN60023 >
sysNodeNameModeShow
The sysNodeNameModeShow command displays the current Fibre Channel
Node Name mode. The default mode is 0. See the sysNodeNameModeSet
command for further information.
Example:
SN60023 > sysNodeNameModeShow
Active system node name mode is 0
Mode 0: Node name is the same on all FC Interfaces
Mode 1: Node name is based on port name, but different from port
name
value = 0 = 0x0
SN60023 >
sysVpdShow or sysVpdShowAll
The sysVpdShow command displays Vital Product data information. The Vital
Mode Definition
0 Node name is the same on all Fibre Channel interfaces
(default)
