Chapter 25 Configuring Domain Parameters
FC IDs
• Ensure that the required VSAN is an active VSAN—persistent FC IDs can only be configured on
active VSANs.
• Verify that the domain part of the FC ID is the same as the runtime domain ID in the required VSAN.
If the software detects a domain mismatch, the command is rejected.
• Verify that the port field of the FC ID is 0 (zero) when configuring an area.
Note FICON uses a different scheme for allocating FC IDs based in the front panel port number. This scheme
takes precedence over FC ID persistence in FICON VSANs.
