HP StorageWorks 2/64 - Core Switch, Command Reference Manual

Page: 100 / 830

100 Fabric OS commands
Unless the chassis is currently configured as Option 1 (a single 128-port switch with blade IDs 4 and 17
and CP blade IDs 5 and 16), both CP blades should always contain firmware that supports this
command. Use of earlier versions will adversely affect switch operation.
Because this is a disruptive operation and has profound effect on the behavior of the chassis, it needs to
be used selectively.
Users running secure mode should be particularly careful in using this command to change the number of
domains on the local chassis, because security is disabled on all resulting local switches. These switches
are not able to participate in a secure fabric until secure mode is restored. Therefore, the fabric should
have a primary FCS outside this chassis, to manage security throughout the fabric during this transition.
