Chassis configuration setting
When migrating a SAN Director with two domains (two lo g ical
switches) to a 4/256 SAN Director, the result will be a SAN Director
with only one domain. Depending on your configuration, this
may change the topology of the fabric and should be taken into
consideration when planning your installation.
The 4/256 SAN Director supports chassis configuration options 1 or
5only. UsethechassisConfig command to change the chassis
configuration. The valid options are:
• Option 1 — One (up to) 128-port logical switch. This chassis mode
supports CP4 control processor blades managing FC4–16.
• Option 5 — One (up to) 384-port logical switch. This chassis mode
supports CP4 control processor blades managing the FC4–16,
FC4–32, and F C 4–48.
