Edge Switch 2/32 installation guide 77

b. Select Enabled or Disabled from the Insistent Domain drop-down list. The default state is

disabled. This option is not supported unless the SANtegrity feature is installed.

If insistent domain is enabled, the domain ID configured in the Preferred Domain ID field will

become the active domain identification when the fabric initializes.

Notes:

• This option is required if High Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) is enabled.

• If you enable Insistent Domain while the switch or director is online, the Preferred Domain

ID will change to the current active domain ID if the IDs are different.

c. Select Enabled or Disabled from the Rerouting Delay drop-down list. The default state is

enabled.

If rerouting delay is enabled, traffic is delayed through a fabric by the specified E_D_TOV

time. This delay ensures Fibre Channel frames are delivered to their destination in order, even

if a change to the fabric topology creates a new (shorter) transmission path.

d. Select Enabled or Disabled from the Domain RSCNs drop-down list. The default state is

disabled.

Domain register for state change notifications (domain RSCNs) are sent between end devices

in a fabric to provide additional connection information to host bus adapters (HBAs) and

storage devices. As an example, this information might be that a logical path has been

broken because of a physical event, such as a fiber optic cable being disconnected from a

port. Consult with your HBA and storage device vendor to determine if enabling Domain

RSCNs will cause problems with your HBA or storage products.

e. Select Enabled or Disabled from the Suppress RSCNs on Zone set activations drop-down list.

The default state is disabled.

When the parameter is enabled, attached devices do not receive notification following any

change to the fabric's active zone set.

When the parameter is disabled, attached devices (registered through the fabric format

domain register) do receive notification following any change to the fabric's active zone set.

5. Click Activate to save the information. The message Your changes to the operating
