fctimer Distribution

You can enable per-VSAN fctimer fabric distribution for all Cisco SAN switches in the fabric. When you
perform fctimer configurations, and distribution is enabled, that configuration is distributed to all the switches
in the fabric.
You automatically acquire a fabric-wide lock when you enter the first configuration command after you
enabled distribution in a switch. The fctimer application uses the effective and pending database model to
store or commit the commands based on your configuration.
For additional information, refer to Using Cisco Fabric Services in the System Management Configuration
Guide for your device.
