Configuring Unique Area FC IDs for an HBA

<a name="wp1527953"> </a><h2 class="pHeading2">
Detailed Steps
</h2>
<a name="wp1595043"> </a><p class="pBody">
To configure a different area ID for the HBA port, follow these steps:

</p>
<div class="pSmartList1"><ol type="1" class="pSmartList1">
<a name="wp1595044"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Expand <span style="font-weight: bold">End Device</span> in the Physical Attributes pane and select the <span style="font-weight: bold">FLOGI</span> tab in the Information pane 
to obtain the port WWN (Port Name field) of the HBA.
</li>
<a name="wp1595045"> </a><p class="pListNote1">
<strong>Note	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> Both FC IDs in this setup have the same area  00 assignment.

</p>
<a name="wp1595046"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Expand <span style="font-weight: bold">Switches &gt; FC Interfaces </span>and then select <span style="font-weight: bold">Physical</span> from the Physical Attributes pane. 
</li>
<a name="wp1595047"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Set the Status Admin drop-down menu to <span style="font-weight: bold">down</span> for the interface that the HBA is connected to. 
</li>
<a name="wp1595048"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
This shuts down the HBA interface in the MDS switch.

</p>
<a name="wp1595049"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Expand<span style="font-weight: bold"> Fabric &gt; All VSANs </span>and then select <span style="font-weight: bold">Domain Manager.
</span></li>
<a name="wp1595050"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Click the <span style="font-weight: bold">Persistent Setup</span> tab in the Information pane to verify that the FC ID feature is enabled. 
</li>
<a name="wp1595051"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
If this feature is disabled, continue with this procedure to enable the persistent FC ID.

</p>
<a name="wp1599065"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
If this feature is already enabled, skip to <a href="domn42.html#wp1595058">Step&#160;7</a>. 

</p>
<a name="wp1595056"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Check the <b class="cBold">Enable</b> check box to enable the persistent FC ID feature in the Cisco MDS switch. 
</li>
<a name="wp1595058"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Select the <span style="font-weight: bold">Persistent FcIds</span> tab and assign a new FC ID with a different area allocation in the FcId field. 
In this example, we replace <span style="font-style: normal">00</span> with <span style="font-style: normal">ee</span>.
</li>
<a name="wp1595059"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Click <span style="font-weight: bold">Apply Changes</span> to save this new FC ID.
</li>
<a name="wp1595060"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Compare the FC ID values to verify the FC ID of the HBA. 
</li>
<a name="wp1595061"> </a><p class="pListNote1">
<strong>Note	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> Both FC IDs now have different area assignments.

</p>
<a name="wp1595062"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Expand <span style="font-weight: bold">Switches &gt; FC Interfaces </span>and then select <span style="font-weight: bold">Physical</span> from the Physical Attributes pane. Set the 
Status Admin drop-down menu to <span style="font-weight: bold">up </span>for the interface that the HBA is connected to. This enables the 
HBA interface in the MDS switch.
