A two fabric merge has failed, leaving you with segmented fabrics. Investigation of the switch domain IDs shows that there is an ID conflict between two of the switches. What is the corrective action?

Question

Accepted Answer

D. take one of the switches offline (disabled), change the domain ID, and bring the switch back Fibre Channel fabrics require each switch to have a unique domain ID. To resolve a conflict, one conflicting switch must be taken offline or isolated, its domain ID changed to a unique value, and then it can be brought back online to merge with the fabric.

Answer

A. no action is necessary, the ID conflict will be resolved by negotiation Domain ID conflicts will prevent fabric merges and require manual intervention, as they are not resolved by negotiation.

Answer

B. utilize the name server editor to change the domain ID within the fabric The name server editor is used to view device information, not to change fundamental switch configuration like domain IDs.

Answer

C. change the domain ID on the switch that needs to be changed and allow negotiation to Changing the domain ID on an active switch without isolation can cause fabric instability or further issues during a merge attempt.
