FC Host ID Pins
If the command module is installed on a Fiber Channel network, the
controllers must have unique FC host ID numbers. The FC host ID
numbers assigned to each controller are based on two elements:
●
Hardware host ID settings through the host ID pins on the back
of the command module (
Figure 34 )
●
Software algorithms that calculate the actual FC address, based
on the command module’s hardware ID settings
The hardware host ID settings on the command module are limited
to #0 through #15 for each controller. For more information about
software host ID settings for Fiber Channel, refer to your software
documentation.
