Changing to Extended Edge PID Format
A
d. Verify that the switches form a single fabric and that all domain IDs do not change after
forming the fabric.
e. Verify that the number of switches is the same.
3. Disable the switch by entering the switchDisable command.
4. Change the switch configuration in the fabric to Extended Edge PID format.
a. Configure Extended Edge PID (Format 2) on each switch. (See Figure A-1 for a sample
configure command on a SilkWorm switch running Fabric OS v3.1.2 and later and see
Figure A-1 for a sample configure command on a SilkWorm switch running Fabric OS 4.2.0
and later.)
b. Run the switchEnable command all switches.
c. Verify that all the switches form a fabric.
d. Use the switchShow command to verify the interswitch links (ISLs) are correct and the device
links are correct.
e. Use the fabricShow command to verify that the number of switches are the same as those
when starting this procedure.
f. Use the nsAllShow command to verify the total number of devices is the same as those when
starting this procedure.
g. For dual fabrics, repeat steps 1 through 5 for the other fabric.
