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.

0Node name is the same on all Fibre Channel interfaces (default)

1Node name is based on port name but different from port name

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

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 >
