Oracle I/O Domain Administration Guide

Assign Fibre Channel Addresses

As of SuperCluster software version 2.5, if SuperCluster includes Fibre Channel interfaces in Root Domains, you must assign a block of addresses to each interface. Prior to version 2.5, Fibre Channel addresses were automatically assigned by the Oracle Solaris OS.

If you have more than one SuperCluster connected to the same SAN, this feature enables you to assign each SuperCluster to a different block of Fibre Channel addresses. It also enables the same Fibre Channel addresses to remain assigned to I/O Domains throughout operations such as freeze and thaw (see Relocating Domains with Freeze and Thaw).
