Verifying the PID mode
Before connecting the device to the fabric, verify that the WWN-based persistent port identifier (PID)
feature on the device matches the other switches in the fabric. This parameter must be identical for all
switches in the fabric and is set using the configure command as shown in the following example:
switch:admin>configure
Configure...
Fabric parameters (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
Domain: (1..239) [1]
Enable a 256 Area Limit
(0 = No,
1 = Zero Based Area Assignment,
2 = Port Based Area Assignment): (0..2) [0] 1
WWN Based persistent PID (yes, y, no, n): [no] yes
<command output truncated>
You can check the PID setting using the configshow command as in the following example. You can
use the | grep -i pid qualifier to pinpoint the PID information.
switch:admin> configshow | grep -i pid
fabric.ops.mode.pidFormat:1
fabric.wwnPidMode:1
The 1 indicates that the WWN-based persistent PID feature is enabled. The default value is 0 for
disabled.
Determining installed software licenses
Depending on the vendor agreement, certain licenses are factory installed on the device. To determine
which licenses are enabled, use the licenseShow command.
swDir:admin> licenseshow
AAbbccDDeeFFeeGG:
Web license
Zoning license
Extended Fabric license
Fabric Watch license
Performance Monitor license
Trunking license
Security license
In this example, the license key is AAbbccDDeeFFeeGG. Keep a copy of the license key for reference.
The 64-bit chassis ID is required to obtain and activate licenses for the device. The chassis ID is
available through the licenseIdShow command. The licenseShow and licenseIdShow commands
must be entered on the active CP blade. Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for more
information.
Installing transceivers and attaching cables
The following two sets of steps cover the installation of transceivers and cables for most SFPs and for
QSFPs.
For a list of qualified transceivers for FC16-64 and CR16-x blades, refer to Qualified transceivers for
FC16-64 and CR16-x blades. on page 52
