How to Change the Core PID Format
In order for the switches to interoperate properly, all of them must have the same
Core PID format. Use these steps to change the Core PID format, if necessary.
Caution:
Remember that you must change the Core PID format before
connecting fiber cables.
1. If the switch is configured for zoning, type
cfgDisable
to disable zoning.
2. To disable the switch, type
SwitchDisable and press
Enter.
3. Type
configure
and press
Enter. The following prompt displays:
4. Configure...
5. Type
y
at the Fabric parameters prompt,
6. Fabric parameters (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
7. Locate the line, "Core Switch PID Format: (0..1)." Type either 0 or
1
to match
the SAN’s existing PID format.
8. Continue to press Enter until you have completed the configure section and
returned to the
admin
prompt.
9. Type
SwitchEnable and press
Enter.
10. After setting the PID Format to match the the other switches in the fabric, go
to the “
Connecting the Switch to the LAN
” section on page 62 for instructions
on connecting Fibre Channel cables.
11. If necessary, type
cfgEnable
to re-establish zoning.
Note:
Once the switch PID format is set, it is stored in the flash memory of the switch,
and it is NOT necessary to set it again during subsequent firmware upgrades.
