Information About Persistent FCIDs
FC ID persistence improves IVR management by providing the following features:
-
Allows you to control and assign a specific virtual domain to use in a native VSAN.
-
Allows you to control and assign a specific virtual FC ID for a device.
The benefits of persistent FC IDs for IVR are as follows:
-
Host devices always see the same FC ID for targets.
-
FC IDs help you plan your SAN layout better by assigning virtual domains for IVR to use.
-
FC IDs can make SAN monitoring and management easier. When you see the same domain or FC ID consistently assigned, you can readily determine the native VSAN or device to which it refers.
