fcrlsanmatrix --help
Description Use this command to specify pairs of edge fabrics IDs (FIDs) that can access each other. Every pair
implies two-way communications. The pairs of edge fabrics have access only to the edge fabrics
associated with them by this command. The edge fabrics that are not specified have access to the
remaining unspecified edge fabrics. Using this information, the FCR switch maintains the remote
LSAN Zone and the device state database only if it is associated to its local edge fabrics.
For example, if edge fabric FIDs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are online, the default is that all edge fabrics have
two-way communication. In the case where 1 and 2 are specified with the --add option to have
access to each other, then:
• 1 can access only 2.
• 2 can access only 1.
• 3, 4, 5 can access each other, but cannot access 1 or 2.
The FIDs entered are not required to be online when you set up the LSAN fabric matrix. The FIDs
entered are not required to be online when you set up the LSAN fabric matrix. In Fabric OS v6.1 and
later, the LSAN fabric matrix information is automatically distributed to all switches in the fabric. On
pre-Fabric OS v6.1 switches, the information is saved only locally. For FC Routers running Fabric OS
versions prior to 6.1.0, the best practice is, therefore, to enter the same information for all the FCR
switches in the backbone that support this command.
This command is also used to specify FC Router pairs that can talk to each other. All edge fabrics
connected to a defined pair of FCRs are allowed to import devices each other. Once, a fabric is
removed from an FCR, the communication with other fabrics of the two FCRs is also removed. The
world wide name (WWN) is used to specify an FCR member. If the FCR is online, the domain ID of
the switch can be used in place of the WWN.
Using the command options, you can do the following:
• Update the cached information (nonpersistent location) by editing pairs of FIDs.
• Update the cached information by removing pairs of FIDs.
• Apply the changes to the persistent memory and distribute the changes to all FCRs in the
backbone fabric.
