been installed.
The columns included in the dialog box are as follows:

• Source Addr (FICON management style only)—This column lists the source address of the
preferred path.
• Exit Port—This column lists the exit port of the preferred path.
• Exit Addr (FICON management style only)—This column lists the exit address of the
preferred path.
• Destination Domain ID—This column lists the domain ID of the destination switch or director.
The range of the destination domain ID number is 1 through 31.
TIP: You may need to configure preferred paths on multiple switches or directors to optimize load
balancing for an entire path between devices.
NOTE: A warning message will display if the switch or director has not been configured for
insistent domain ID. If this is the case, close the dialog box and select Configure > Operating
Parameters > Switch Parameters. Select the Insistent check box in the Configure Switch Parameters
dialog box. Return to the Configure Preferred Paths dialog box and continue to step 2 .
