Configuring Operating Parameters
Use the procedures in this section to configure parameters on the
director for operation over Fibre Channel. These parameters are
stored in NV-RAM on the
director.
Ordinarily, you do not need to change these values from their defaults. The
only exception is the Preferred Domain ID. Change this value if the director
will participate in a multiswitch fabric.
To configure operating parameters for the director:
1. Set the director off line:
CAUTION

Setting the director off line terminates all Fibre Channel
connections.
