designates the fabric’s principal switch, which is assigned a

IDs for all fabric elements (including itself).
Principal
is the highest priority setting,
Default
is the next
highest, and
Never Principal
is the lowest priority setting. The
setting
Never Principal
means the fabric element is incapable of
becoming a principal switch. If all elements are set to
Principal
or
Default
, the element with the highest priority and the lowest
WWN becomes the principal switch. At least one element in a
multiswitch fabric must be set as
Principal
or
