Paragon II and P2ZCIMs
P2ZCIM installation requires that each server be assigned a channel
name as it is added to the P2ZCIM chain. Server channels are organized
alphanumerically by the assigned names or the default names of
P2ZCIMs—their serial numbers, rather than in the order of their
placement within the P2ZCIM chain. We recommend that users assign
channel names before connecting all servers to eliminate any difficulty in
locating the respective channel for each server. When naming or
renaming a P2ZCIM, switch to that P2ZCIM to activate it, thereby
ensuring that its new name is updated in the Paragon switch's database.
