Enabling CFS for an Application
All CFS based applications provide an option to enable or disable the distribution capabilities. Features
that existed prior to Cisco SAN-OS Release 2.0(1b) have the distribution capability disabled by default
and must have distribution capabilities enabled explicitly.
Applications introduced in Cisco SAN-OS Release 2.0(1b) or later have the distribution enabled by
default.
The application configuration is not distributed by CFS unless distribution is explicitly enabled for that
application.
To enable CFS for a feature using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Choose a feature on which to enable CFS. For example, expand Switches > Events then select
Step 1
CallHome in the Physical Attributes pane. The Information pane shows that feature, with a CFS tab.
Click the CFS tab to display the CFS state for each switch in the fabric for that feature.
Step 2 Decide on which switch(es) to enable CFS. Set the Admin column to either enable to enable CFS or
disable to disable CFS.
Note
Step 3 Right-click the row you changed to see the pop-up menu. Select Apply Changes to apply the CFS
configuration change. The CFS tab updates as the CFS changes take effect.
Fabric Manager retrieves the status of the CFS change and updates the Last Result column.
To enable CFS for a feature using Device Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Choose Admin > CFS (Cisco Fabric Services).
You see the CFS dialog box with the CFS status for all features on that switch.
Step 2 Decide which feature(s) need CFS. Set the Command column to either enable to enable CFS or disable
to disable CFS.
Note
Step 3 Click Pending Differences to compare the configuration of this feature on this switch to other switches
in the fabric or VSAN that have CFS enabled for this feature. Close the Show Pending Diff pop-up.
Step 4 Click Apply to apply the CFS configuration change.
Device Manager retrieves the status of the CFS change and updates the Last Command and Result
columns.
