FCS policies

Creating an FCS policy

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions, or an account with

OM permissions for the Security RBAC class of commands.

2. Enter the secPolicyCreate “FCS_POLICY” command.

Example of creating an FCS policy

The following example creates an FCS policy that allows a switch with domain ID 2 to become a
primary FCS and domain ID 4 to become a backup FCS:

switch:admin> secpolicycreate "FCS_POLICY", "2;4"
FCS_POLICY has been created

3. To save or activate the new policy, enter either the secPolicySave or the secPolicyActivate

command. Once the policy has been activated you can distribute the policy.

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 with admin permissions, or an account with

OM permissions for the Security RBAC class of commands.

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
