FC IDs
To configure a different area ID for the HBA port, perform this task:
Step 1
Obtain the port WWN (Port Name field) ID of the HBA using the
show flogi database
command.
switch#
show flogi database

Note
Both FC IDs in this setup have the same area 77 assignment.
Step 2
Shut down the HBA interface in the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch.
switch#
configuration terminal
switch(config)#
interface vfc20/1
switch(config-if)#
shutdown
switch(config-if)#
end
switch#
Step 3
Verify that the FC ID feature is enabled using the
show fcdomain vsan
command.
switch#
show fcdomain vsan 1
...
Local switch configuration information:
State: Enabled
FCID persistence: Disabled
If this feature is disabled, continue with this procedure to enable the persistent FC ID.
If this feature is already enabled, skip to
.
Step 4
Enable the persistent FC ID feature in the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch.
switch#
configuration terminal
switch(config)#
fcdomain fcid persistent vsan 1
switch(config)#
end
switch#
Step 5
Assign a new FC ID with a different area allocation. In this example, we replace
77
with ee.
switch#
configuration terminal
switch(config)#
fcdomain fcid database
switch(config-fcid-db)#
