c. On sw0, enable security mode and use the secModeEnable command to create an FCS list that
matches your overall fabric’s FCS policy.
d. Reset the version stamp on sw0.
e. If you connected sw0 and sw1 in step a and you do not want them connected, disconnect the
ISL link between them. If you did not connect them, repeat step b through step d on sw1.
9. Optionally, connect the new two-domain SilkWorm 24000 director to the fabric.
10. Enter the fabricShow command to verify that sw0 and sw1 have been merged with the fabric.
11. Enter the cfgShow command to verify that zoning parameters were propagated.
Converting an Installed SilkWorm 24000 to
Support Two Domains
Fabric OS versions earlier than v4.4.0 supported only one domain for SilkWorm 24000 directors (one
128-port logical switch). When you upgrade a SilkWorm 24000 director to Fabric OS v4.4.0 or later,
you can use the chassisConfig command to specify two domains for the director (two 64-port logical
switches, sw0 and sw1). This conversion is for SilkWorm 24000 directors using configuration option
one (one switch, FC2-16 cards installed).
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. If the director is already in a fabric, minimize disruption by removing the director from the fabric
using one of the following methods:
• Physically disconnect the director.
• Use the portCfgPersistentDisable command on all connected remote switches to persistently
disable their ports that are connected to the director, or remove ISLs that connect the SilkWorm
24000 to the current fabric.
3. Enter the chassisConfig command to change the configuration from the default (one domain) to
two domains. This command reboots the system.
During the conversion, you are prompted to save the configuration of sw0. Follow the prompts to
save the configuration file.
4. Enter the ipAddrSet command to set and confirm the IP address of sw1 (sw1 takes on a default that
must be corrected). The IP address of sw0 will already be set.

This procedure restores most configuration parameters to factory defaults. After performing this
procedure, you must check the new configuration and reconfigure those parameters that you customized
in the old configuration.
During this procedure, power is reset and the CP blades are rebooted, so traffic on the fabric is disrupted.
If the fabric is in secure mode, enabling security on the new domains is a complicated task. You should
avoid converting existing core switches.
