Domain ID Conflicts
A Domain ID conflict can occur if a switch that is in the online state is added to a
fabric and the joining switch Domain ID conflicts with the Domain ID of a switch
in the fabric. Normally, Domain IDs are automatically assigned; however, once a
switch is online, the Domain ID cannot change, as it would change the port
addressing and potentially disrupt critical I/O.
Restore a Segmented Fabric
The following procedure describes how to check for inconsistent fabric
parameters that cause segmentation. For information on zoning configuration
incompatibility, see “
Fabric Merge Conflicts Related to Zoning ” on page 207.
Reconcile Fabric Parameters Individually
The following procedure describes how to edit incompatible fabric parameters
between fabrics by hand. To reconcile an entire configuration at once, see
“
Restore Fabric Parameters Through ConfigUpload” on page 205.
1. Log into one of the segmented fabrics as admin.
2. Enter the configshow command.
3. Open another telnet session and log into the next fabric as admin.
4. Enter the configshow command.
5. Compare the two fabric configurations line by line and look for differences.
Do this by comparing the two telnet windows, or by printing the
configshow output.
6. Log into the segmented switch once the discrepancy is identified.
7. Disable the switch by entering switchdisable .
8. Enter the configure command to edit the fabric parameters for the
segmented switch.
Refer to the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS Version 3.1.x/4.1.x Reference Guide
