Or, follow the onscreen prompts to change your password now. 1 1. The OA will then connect its serial line to the Switch in the specified interconnect bay. A prompt displays indicating that the escape character for returning to the OA is Ctrl __ (underscore). -
Page 26: Setting The Date And Time
Setting the date and time The date and time are used for logging events. 8Gb SAN Switch operation does not depend on the date and time; a switch with an incorrect date and time value will function properly. -
Page 27: Modifying The Fc Domain Id (Optional)
If desired, you can modify the FC domain ID. The default FC domain ID is domain 1. If the 8Gb SAN Switch is not powered on until after it is connected to the fabric, and the default FC domain ID is already in use, the domain ID for the new switch is automatically reset to a unique value. -
Page 28: Disabling And Enabling A Port
If you have not already done so, connect to the switch, and log in as admin, as described in Connect to the Command Line Issue the switchDisable command. All Fibre Channel ports on the switch are taken offline. If the switch was part of a fabric, the fabric reconfigures. To enable:... -
