Updating Switches to the Core PID Addressing

155

Fabric OS Procedures Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide

Example:

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.

HP/UX

1. Back up all data. Verify backups.
