fcrXlateConfig
Displays or persistently configures a translate (xlate) domain ID for both the EX_port-attached
fabric and the backbone fabric.
Synopsis fcrxlateconfig importedFabricID exportedFabricID preferredDomainID
fcrxlateconfig [-r] importedFabricID exportedFabricID
Description Use this command to display a translate domain ID or change the preferred domain ID.
A translate domain is a phantom domain created by an FC Router. FC Routers emulate proxy
devices representing real devices in remote fabrics. These proxy devices are emulated to be
connected to translate domains. Translate domains are presented to a fabric as residing
topologically behind front phantom domains (domains created by an EX_Port). In the case of
backbone fabrics, translate domains are topologically behind an E_Port. In every EX_Port-attached
edge fabric and backbone fabric, there can be a translate domain for every FC Router-accessible
remote fabric.
During a fabric build, the translate domain requests a domain ID from the principal switch in the
EX_Port-attached edge fabric. The domain ID requested is the preferred domain ID. You can set the
preferred domain ID when the translate domain is not active and is persistently saved. The
principal switch attempts to provide the translate domain with the requested domain ID, but might
not provide it if there are domain ID conflicts with other domains in the fabric. If the requested
domain ID (such as the preferred domain ID) is unavailable, the domain ID assignment is
completely at the discretion of the principal switch. The assignment domain ID is persistently
stored and is used as the preferred domain ID in the future.
Information displayed is not related to the entire BB. The FC Router displays only connections to an
edge fabric for which there are xlate domain IDs. Any changes you intend to make using this
command should be issued on the switches to which the edge fabrics are directly attached.
Operands This command has the following operands:
-r Removes the preferred domain ID. The translate domain must be inactive to
remove the preferred domain ID.
importedFabricID Specifies the fabric ID (1 through 128) of the fabric that contains the
translate domain.
exportedFabricID Specifies the fabric ID (1 through 128) of the remote fabric represented by
this translate domain.
preferredDomainID Specifies the preferred domain ID (1 through 239) of the translate phantom.
-fcrxlateconfig Sets the preferred domain ID (1-239) to preferredDomainID for the translate
phantom. The translate domain must be inactive to set the preferred domain
ID.
importedFabricID Specifies the fabric ID (1 through 128) of the fabric that contains the
translate domain.
exportedFabricID Specifies the fabric ID (1 through 128) of the remote fabric represented by
this translate domain.
preferredDomainID Specifies the preferred domain ID (1 through 239) of the translate phantom.
