The following table lists each of the parameters in this display. The parameters in this
configuration are set by typing the new value into a text box or selecting a radio
button and clicking the Apply button in the Switch Configuration box. The Reset
Values button in the Switch Configuration box returns the parameters to their
previous settings.
Table 3-11: Switch Control Window
Parameter Description
Switch Role Displays whether switch is configured as the Principal switch or a Subordinate
switch in the Fabric.
Name Displays the system-generated switch name:
• Switch installed in slot 1: MSA1000 name-switch1
• Switch installed in slot 2: MSA1000 name-switch2
Priority (1-255) This parameter allows you to determine the priority that this switch will have
compared to other devices if it requests Fabric resources at the same time as
other devices. The variable is used during the SW-2 principal switch selection
process. Any number between 1 and 255 can be used for this setting. A lower
number results in a higher priority for the switch. The switch with the lowest
priority number will become the principal switch. If two switches have the same
“lowest priority number”, then the switch with the lowest WWN number will
become the principal switch.
A priority 1 forces the switch to be principal; a priority 255 will never allow the
switch to be principal switch. Priority 2 is reserved for the current elected
principal switch. The principal switch will change its priority to 2 if its priority is
greater than 2.
Desired Domain
(1-239)
Any number between 1 and 239. For inter operability, each switch in a Fabric
must have a different domain number. You can specify the desired domain.
However, the actual domain that is set may be different (for example, if the
domain is already in use). This domain number is used during SW-2 principal
switch selection.
Actual Domain Displays the current domain.
Address
Translation
Address translation allows you to address devices with private addresses
through the Fabric. The port must be private for this to function. Choose the
correct radio button to turn address translation on or off. This is limited to private
targets.
