Before configuring Cisco SME, you must explicitly enable clustering, Cisco SME, SSH, and DNS on
the MDS switch with an installed MSM-18/4 module or on the MDS 9222i switch. By default, these are
disabled. The configuration and verification operations for Cisco SME are only available when these are
enabled on a switch.

Enabling Clustering

You can enable clustering on the Cisco MDS 9000 switch with an installed MSM-18/4 module using
Fabric Manager and Device Manager 3.2(2c) or later, or Cisco NX-OS 4.x.
Be sure to enable clustering first, then enable Cisco SME.
