Abstract
The number of domain identifiers is incrementally increased for use by a switch in an established fiber channel switched fabric. In other words, the number of domains assigned to a switch by the Principal Switch of the fiber channel switched fabric is increased without triggering the reconfiguration of the established fiber channel switched fabric. In one implementation, incrementally adding one or more additional domain identifiers includes requesting said one or more additional domain identifiers from a Principal Switch of the fiber channel switched fabric using a different World Wide Name (WWN) than used to acquire the original one or more domain identifiers used by the switch.
