FCS policies

Ensuring fabric domains share policies

Whether your intention is to create new FCS policies or manage your current FCS policies, you must 
follow certain steps to ensure the domains throughout your fabric have the same policy.

The local-switch WWN cannot be deleted from the FCS policy. 

1. Create the FCS policy using the secPolicyCreate command.

2. Activate the policy using the secPolicyActivate command.

If the command is not entered, the changes are lost when the session is logged out. 

3. To distribute the policies, enter the distribute -p policy_list -d switch_list command to either 

send the policies to intended domains, or enter the distribute -p policy_list -d wild_card (*) 
command to send the policies to all switches. 

Creating an FCS policy

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.

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.
