Chassis configuration setting

When migrating a SAN Director with two domains (two logical

switches) to a 4/256 SAN Director, the result will be a SAN Director

with only one domain. Depending on your configuration, this

may change the topology of the fabric and should be taken into

consideration when planning your installation.
The 4/256 SAN Director supports chassis configuration options 1 or

5 only. Use the

chassisConfig

command to change the chassis

configuration. The valid options are:

Option 1 — One (up to) 128-port logical switch. This chassis mode

supports CP4 control processor blades managing FC4–16.

Option 5 — One (up to) 384-port logical switch. This chassis mode

supports CP4 control processor blades managing the FC4–16,

FC4–32, and FC4–48.
