Creating a Persistent FC ID

To create a new persistent FCID, do the following:

    The Create Domain Manager Persistent FCIDs dialog is displayed.

  2. Enter the VSAN ID.
  3. Enter the WWN.
  4. Enter the FCID.
  5. Select the Mask.

    This is the number of FC IDs which are assigned either statically or dynamically for this WWN on this VSAN. Possible values are Single, meaning just one FCI ID is assigned, or Area, meaning all of the FC IDs in the area that is specified are assigned.
