Modification
This command was introduced.
CFS and the applications using CFS on the switch are isolated from the rest of the fabric even though
there is physical connectivity.
All CFS operations are restricted to the isolated switch.
All the CFS commands continue to work similar to the case of a physically isolated switch.
Other CFS operations (for example, lock, commit, and abort) initiated at other switches do not have
any effect at the isolated switch.
CFS distribution is disabled over both Fibre Channel and IP.
