Step 8
Click Apply Changes to save the new FC ID.
Step 9 Compare the FC ID values to verify the FC ID of the HBA.
Note Both FC IDs now have different area assignments.
Step 10 In the Physical Attributes pane, eXpand Switches > Interfaces, and then choose FC Physical. Set the
Status Admin drop-down list to up for the interface that the HBA is connected to.
This enables the HBA interface in the Nexus 5000 Series switch.
