Switch Operating Parameters
Choose this option to display the Configure Switch Parameters dialog box for
setting Fibre Channel operating parameters. In this dialog box, you can set
preferred domain identification (1 to 31) and make it insistent. You can also
enable rerouting delay and domain register for state change notifications
(RSCNs). In addition, you can also set the Switch operating mode to S/390 mode
or Open Systems mode. The Switch must be offline to configure preferred domain
ID and operating mode.
Refer to Configure Switch Operating Parameters on page 3-3 for more
information on configuring the Switch priority and rerouting delay.
Fabric Operating Parameters
Choose this option to display the Configure Fabric Parameters dialog box for
setting fabric operating parameters. In this dialog box, you can set buffer-to-buffer
credit (BB_Credit) from 1 to 60 (default is 16) and the resource allocation
time-out value (R_A_TOV) and error detect time-out value (E_D_TOV) in
tenth-of-a-second increments. In addition, you can set the Switch priority level
(Principal, Default, or Never Principal) and the interoperability modes between
Homogenous Fabric and Open Fabric 1.0.
Refer to Configure Switch Operating Parameters on page 3-3 for more
information on configuring these parameters for the Switch. The Switch must be
offline to configure any fabric operating parameter.
