Domain ID and Domain ID Lock
The domain ID is a unique Fibre Channel identifier for the switch. The Fibre
Channel address consists of the domain ID, port ID, and the Arbitrated Loop
Physical Address (AL_PA).
Switches come from the factory with the domain IDs unlocked. This means that if
there is a domain ID conflict in the fabric, the switch with the highest principal
priority, or the principal switch, reassigns any domain ID conflicts and establishes
the fabric. If you lock the domain ID on a switch and a domain ID conflict occurs,
one of the switches isolates as a separate fabric and the Logged-In LEDs on both
switches flash to show the affected ports. For information about the Domain ID
Lock and Principal Priority parameters, see the QLogic 5800V Series Stackable
Fibre Channel Switch Command Line Interface Guide.
