Syntax
priority switchPriority
Purpose
This command sets the switch priority.
Description
The switch must be set offline before this command is entered.
Parameters
This command has one parameter:
config.switch.priority
switchPriority Specifies the switch priority. Valid values are: principal,
default, or neverprincipal.
■ principal — sets the numerical switch priority to 1.
The switch with a priority of 1 becomes the principal
switch; however, if two or more switches have a priority
of 1, the switch with the lowest WWN becomes the
principal switch.
■ default — sets the numerical switch priority to 254.
If no switch is set to principal, the switch with a priority
254 becomes the principal switch; however, if two or
more switches have a priority of 254, the switch with the
lowest WWN becomes the principal switch.
■ neverprincipal — sets the numerical switch
priority to 255. This switch is not able to become the
principal switch.
Note: At least one switch in a multiswitch fabric must have a
switch priority value of principal or default.
Note: The number codes 2–253 are not currently in use.
