Configuring the backbone fabric ID
The FC-FC Routing Service must be disabled when configuring the backbone fabric ID. Web Tools
automatically disables FC-FC Routing before setting the fabric ID and then reenables it afterwards;
however, you must first disable all of the EX_Ports before you invoke this operation. After the fabric
ID has been changed, you can enable these ports again manually.
The fabric ID for a backbone fabric must be different than the fabric IDs of all other edge fabrics;
otherwise, a fabric ID conflict error could occur.
Make sure that all switches in the backbone fabric have the same fabric ID.
To configure a backbone fabric ID
1. Open the Switch Administration window.
2. Click FCR in the Manage section of the Tasks menu.
3. Click the EX-Ports tab.
4. Disable all of the EX_Ports by selecting all of the ports in the table and then clicking Disable.
5. Click the General tab.
