Implementing Cisco Storage Area Networking (DCSAN) — Question 4

A storage administrator manually configures a storage switch to use a new static domain ID. After issuing an fcdomain restart vsan 1 command, the administrator sees that the switch is still using the existing domain ID. What is the reason why the configuration is not working?

Answer options

• A. Static domain IDs apply only after a switch is rebooted.
• B. The disruptive keyword was not used on the command.
• C. Build fabric notifications were not sent to the other switches.
• D. Domain manager fast restart is not enabled on the switch.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because static domain IDs require a switch reboot to take effect. The other options are incorrect as they either refer to command usage or communication issues that do not impact the requirement for a reboot to apply static domain ID changes.
