About fctimer Distribution

You can enable per-VSAN fctimer fabric distribution for all Cisco MDS 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 issue 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.
