HP 2/8q Fibre Channel manual Enabled only for ports connected to initiator devices

Command Line Interface

Table 51: Set Config port parameters (Continued)

Parameter	Description
NoClose	Loop circuit closure prevention. Enables (True) or disables
	(False) the loop’s ability to remain in the open state
	indefinitely. True reduces the amount of arbitration on a loop
	when there is only one device on the loop. The default is
	False.
IOStreamGuard	I/O Stream Guard. Enable (Enable) or disables (Disable) the
	suppression of RSCN messages. I/O Stream Guard should be
	enabled only for ports connected to initiator devices. The
	default is Disable.
VIEnable	Enables (True) or disables (False) VI preference routing. The
	default is False. Enabling VIEnable will disable MFSEnable.
PDISCPingEnable	Enables (True) or disables (False) the transmission of ping
	messages from the switch to all devices on a loop port. The
	default is True.

SWITCH

Initiates an editing session in which to change switch configuration settings. The system displays each parameter one line at a time and prompts you for a value. For each parameter, enter a new value or press Enter to accept the current value shown in brackets. Table 52 describes the Set Config Switch parameters.

Table 52: Set config switch parameters

Parameter	Description
AdminState	Switch administrative state: online, offline, or diagnostics. The
	default is Online.
BroadcastEnabled	Broadcast. Enables (True) or disables (False) forwarding of
	broadcast frames. The default is True.
DefaultDomainID	Default domain ID. The default is 1.
DomainIDLock	Prevents (True) or allows (False) dynamic reassignment of the
	domain ID. The default is False.
SymbolicName	Descriptive name for the switch. The name can be up to 32
	characters excluding #, semicolon (;), and comma (,). The
	default is 2/8q FC Switch.
R_A_TOV	Resource Allocation Timeout Value. The number of
	milliseconds the switch waits to allow two ports to allocate
	enough resources to establish a link. The default is 10000.
E_D_TOV	Error Detect Timeout Value. The number of milliseconds a port
	is to wait for errors to clear. The default is 2000.
PrincipalPriority	The priority used in the FC-SW-2 principal switch selection
	algorithm. 1 is high, 255 is low. The default is 254.
ConfigDescription	Switch configuration description. The configuration description
	can be up to 32 characters excluding #, semicolon (;), and
	comma (,). The default is 2/8q FC Switch.
InteropMode	Propagates just the active zone set throughout the fabric (True,
	compliant) or the entire zoning database (False,
	non-compliant). The default is True. (not supported)
LegacyAddressFormat	Available only when the InteropMode parameter is False, this
	parameter enables (True) or disables (False) the use of legacy
	address formatting for interoperating with non-FC-SW-2
	switches. See Table 52. The default is False. (not supported)
