Usage Guidelines
This command is used to increase scalability of FC-Redirect.
Disabling version2 mode after it is enabled in the fabric is not recommended. However, if you want to
disable version2 mode, you cannot disable it until all FC-Redirect configurations are deleted.
FC-Redirect configurations can be deleted only by deleting all corresponding application configurations.
The SAN-OS 3.2.x switches cannot be added to the fabric after the version2 mode is enabled. If the
switches are added, all further FC-Redirect configuration changes will fail across the fabric. This could
lead to traffic disruption for applications such as SME and DMM.
Use the show fc-redirect configs command to see the list of applications that create FC-Redirect
configurations.
If version2 mode is enabled in the fabric and you want to move a switch to a different fabric, use the
clear fc-redirect decommission-switch command before moving the switch to a different fabric. If not,
all switches in the new fabric will be converted to version2 mode automatically.
Note All switches in the fabric should be running San-OS version 3.3.x or higher. Ensure that there are no
fabric changes or upgrades in progress. Use the show fc-redirect peer-switches command (UP state) to
see all the switches in the fabric.
Examples The following example shows how to enable version2 mode in FC-Redirect.
