Brocade Communications Systems 53-1001763-02 Modifying the order of FCS switches, FCS policy distribution

Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide 139

FCS policies 7
NOTE
FCS policy must be consistent across the fabric. If the policy is inconsistent in the fabric, then you
will not be able to perform any fabric-wide configurations from the primary FCS.
Modifying the order of FCS switches
1. Log in to the Primary FCS switch using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Type secPolicyShow “Defined”, “FCS_POLICY”.
This displays the WWNs of the current Primary FCS switch and backup FCS switches.
3. Type secPolicyFCSMove; then provide the current position of the switch in the list and the
desired position at the prompts.
Alternatively, enter secPolicyFCSMove [From, To] command. From is the current position in the
list of the FCS switch and To is the desired position in the list for this switch.
Example of moving an FCS policy
The following example moves a backup FCS switch from position 2 to position 3 in the FCS list,
using interactive mode:
primaryfcs:admin> secpolicyfcsmove
PosPrimary WWN DId swName.

4. Type the secPolicyActivate command to activate and save the new order.
FCS policy distribution
The FCS policy can be automatically distributed using the fddCfg --fabwideset command or it can
be manually distributed to the switches using the distribute -p command. Each switch that receives
the FCS policy must be configured to receive the policy. To configure the switch to accept
distribution of the FCS policy, refer to “Database distribution settings” on page 159.
Database distributions may be initiated from only the Primary FCS switch. FCS policy configuration
and management is performed using the command line or a manageability interface.
