fcrLsanMatrix

fcrLsanMatrix
Creates, edits and displays the LSAN fabric matrix information, which binds the LSAN Zone and
device database information per specified edge fabric ID.
Synopsis fcrlsanmatrix [--add FabricID FabricID] [--remove FabricID FabricID] [--apply] [--cancel]
[--display] [--fabricview] [--verify] [--quickmode] [--help]
Description Use this command to specify the pairs of edge fabrics IDs (FIDs) that can access each other. Every
pair implies two-way communications. The pairs of edge fabrics will have access only to the edge
fabrics associated with them by this command. The edge fabrics that the user did not specify will
have access to the remaining unspecified edge fabrics. Using this information, the FCR switch will
maintain the remote LSAN Zone and the device state database only if it is associated to its local
edge fabrics.
For example, if edge fabrics FIDs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are online, the default is that all edge fabrics have
two-way communication. In the case where, 1 and 2 are specified with the --add option to have
access to each other:
•
•
•
The FIDs entered are not required to be online when you set up the LSAN fabric matrix. The LSAN
fabric matrix information is saved per switch and not distributed to other FCR switches
automatically. The best practice is to enter the same information for all the FCR switches in the
backbone that supports this command.
Using the command options, the user can do the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Operands If no operands are specified, this command displays the persistent LSAN Zone matrix information.
The following operands are optional:
--add FID FID
--remove FID FID
--apply
176
1 can access only 2.
2 can access only 1.
3, 4, 5 can access each other, but cannot access 1 or 2.
Update the cached information (non-persistent location) by editing pairs of FIDs.
Update the cached information by removing pairs of FIDs.
Apply the changes to the persistent memory.
Display the information saved in the cache.
Clear the information from the cache and put it back to the saved value.
Display the information that is saved in the persistent memory (CLI command with no option).
Display the static and default/dynamic binding of the backbone to show which edge fabrics
have two-way communication.
Verify if the information in the cache is valid and will not disrupt existing import/export devices.
Run a quickmode to derive the LSAN Zone matrix from the current import/ export database.
Adds the pair of edge fabrics that can access each other. If you specify --add
with zero (0) value for FIDs, the command returns the cache to default mode.
Removes the entry of the pair of FIDS. If no longer specified, the edge fabric
assumes the default behavior.
Applies the information from the cache to the persistent memory only if there
is no affect to the existing import/export devices. Otherwise, an error
message is displayed.
