HP StorageWorks XPath OS 7.4.X Administrator Guide (AA-RVHDD-TE, February 2006)

20 Performing basic configuration
For example:
See also ”Viewing hardware status” on page 41.
Verifying the PID mode
XPath OS uses either core PID mode (the default) or extended-edge PID mode. All switches in a fabric must
be configured to use the same PID mode.
NOTE: The PID mode for the MP Router need not match that of the attached fabrics; however, the PID
mode set on the EX_Port must match.
Viewing the PID mode
1. Log in as admin.
2. Issue the configShow command.
3. Verify that the value of following line is either 1 (core PID mode) or 2 (extended-edge PID mode):
fabric.ops.mode.pidFormat: 1
Setting the PID mode
NOTE: To set the PID mode on an EX_Port, see ”Configuring an interfabric link” on page 52. To set the
PID mode of a Fabric OS switch, see the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.x administrator guide.
